Mangaluru, Jan 11: The recent gram panchayat elections saw the local units of Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) performing quite well, garnering well over a hundred seats. It is generally acknowledged both by the Congress and the BJP that by fielding its candidates, especially in Muslim-majority constituencies, the SDPI often plays spoilsport for the Congress, benefiting the BJP in turn. Both the national parties have time and again accused the SDPI of being the B-team of the rival party. Despite this, not many people are familiar with the core ideology of the SDPI and what it aims to achieve as a political party.
