KOZHIKODE: The Janadhipatya Rashtriya Sabha has quit the NDA alleging that the BJP has failed to consider its demands. Janadhipatya Rashtriya Sabha chairperson and Adivasi leader C K Janu made the announcement at a press meet here on Sunday.

Janu expressed the party’s resentment over the “neglect and indifference” showed by senior BJP leaders towards the party’s major demands. One of the main demands of the party was to implement the Scheduled Areas law.

“I had discussed the same with BJP president Amit Shah. But it didn’t bear fruit. The BJP leadership has also failed to give us positions in any of the boards or corporations under the Central Government. No meetings of the NDA have been held in Kerala for sometime now,” she said.

Janu said she is ready to hold talks with any alliance in the state. “We are even ready to hold talks with NDA if they approach. We have decided to quit the alliance as they have failed to consider our demands. But we do not have any aversion towards the LDF or UDF,” she said.She refrained from making any comments on the Supreme Court verdict allowing women of all ages to enter Sabarimala temple.
