Students Federation of India (SFI) and Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) members clashed on the campus of Government ITI, Chandanathope, here on Wednesday following the arrival of National Democratic Front (NDA) candidate for the Kollam Lok Sabha constituency G. Krishnakumar for electioneering.
Reacting to the incident Mr. Krishnakumar said that the leadership was using the students as they feared an electoral defeat. “The United Democratic Front (UDF) and the Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidates had visited the campus before me and I was told by SFI members that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate is not welcome. They always talk about fascism in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh, but a person like me who was born and brought up in Kerala was denied entry to the campus. This is real fascism,” he said.
