Udupi: The coalition government in the state has been providing good administration to the people and has done various developmental works. Apart from waiving the farmers’ loans, the government has initiated developmental works for the women of the state. There is scope for coordination between religions, but the BJP is creating animosity among the religions for their political benefit, said Jayamala, Minister of State for Women Empowerment and Udupi district in-charge minister.
She was speaking at the Byndoor Block Congress Workers’ convention held at the Byndoor Rotary Bhavan, Byndoor near here, on Sunday, October 21. “The BJP is taking advantage and is creating animosity between religions in the state.
