Controversies
Support to illegal Bangladeshis He was involved in a major controversy when he openly asked party workers to ensure that only those Bangladeshi immigrants who support the ruling party in the state find a place in the voters’ list.
He said "Many new people are coming...they are from Bangladesh. Many of these people vote for BJP based on Hindu sentiments. Please ensure that only those who support our party get place in the voters' list."
Allegation of fraud jobs by CPM He alleged that the illegal recruitment scheme is something that the leftists have taught them.
