RSS leader Krishna Gopal on Sunday appealed people to vote on the basis of candidate’s abilities and added that using caste as vote bank is not good for a democratic system.
“Some people have personal and political vested interests and they use caste as their vote bank which I believe is not good in a democratic set up. A person should be elected on basis of his qualification and talent and not mere caste,” Krishna Gopal said at a book lauch organised at world book fare in Pragati Maidan.
The RSS leader termed caste discrimination as a social evil which has to be urgently eliminated.
Commenting on Hindutva, he said “Hindutva respects new views and ideas. Hinduism word in itself create boundaries as Marxism or any other theory does but Hindutva is not about stagnation. It gives one permission for debate as well as discussion.”
Saying that is Marxism is not the mean to solve the division between rich and poor, the RSS pointsman said “”Indian society and ideology is not about struggle it’s about peace and harmony. Even few foreign countries in past 50-60 years have distanced themselves from Marxism.”
