On the other hand, Suresh Gopi described Indira Gandhi as Mother India. This is not acceptable, he said. He was responding to a local channel. His words are, Suresh Gopi does not blame Indira Gandhi for calling her Bharat Mata. Because he has such a sense of history. He came from the film industry. When he responded like this, many people called me. Asked if this can be accepted’, said Padmanabhan.
He opined that people come to the BJP not motivated by fundamental ideals but by lust for power. People like AP Abdullahkutty have benefited from coming to the BJP, not the party. Many people join the party because of their passion for power politics. Such people who come to BJP should be inculcated with the basic things of BJP and given status. Apart from that, accepting such people is sending a wrong message to the party.
