New Delhi: CASA (Christian Association and Alliance for Social Action) has decided to support the NDA in the upcoming assembly polls in Kerala.
Accusing the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) of sacrificing secularism, CASA called it “Union of Deviant Fanatics.”
“Until now, the Kerala Christian community supported both fronts, UDF and LDF. But for some time now they have been showing complete disregard towards genuine Christian interests. Despite being a secular front once, the UDF has turned out to be fertile ground for Islamist communal politics,” said the group in its press release.
