The Story in Brief
Former Mangaluru mayor K. Ashraf has told Udupi MLA Yashpal Suvarna that his family's land, home and business were made possible by the Land Reforms Act passed during the Gandhi-led Congress era. Ashraf was reacting to Suvarna's recent outburst against the Gandhi family.
In a press release, Ashraf said Suvarna should realise that he is an elected representative today because Congress administration empowered his family through land ownership. He advised the BJP leader against making wild statements on the streets.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides are trading historical favours to score political points, but the real test is whether Suvarna will deny the specific land reforms that benefited his family. If he does, the burden of proof falls on him. If he does not, his attacks on the Gandhi family lose some steam. Either way, voters in Udupi now have a concrete claim to watch for in the next exchange.
