Muthalik, who is facing some 45 cases, including those relating to promoting enmity between two communities, blamed the Congress “conspiracy” for stalling his entry into BJP.
A red-faced BJP central leadership had set aside the membership of Muthalik, linked with the attack by his outfit activists on women in a Mangalore pub in 2009 that had sparked national outrage.
Muthalik said he was hurt by BJP's “hasty” decision setting aside his membership.
Activists of Sri Ram Sene, notorious for moral policing, had barged into a pub in Mangalore and assaulted youngsters - women and men - after accusing them of behaving in an “obscene manner”.
