BJP chief Amit Shah attacks CPM in Kerala, asks if Pinarayi Vijayan will take moral responsibility for violence in state

Thiruvananthapuram: BJP President Amit Shah on Tuesday hit out at Kerala’s CPM-led LDF over the political violence in the state, asking Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan if he was prepared to take moral responsibility for the “killing of 13 innocent BJP/RSS workers.” Addressing party workers at the Puthrikandam maidan here on the conclusion of the party’s 15-day ‘Janaraksha Yatra’ in the state, Shah alleged that the 13 workers were killed after the present government came to power in May 2016. “I am asking the Kerala chief minister, whether he is prepared to take moral responsiblity for the killing of 13 BJP/RSS workers in the state after the LDF government came to power.” “Chief minister saheb, if you want to fight us, let us fight in terms of development and ideology,” he said. Shah said if the Marxist party feels that BJP/RSS workers can be eliminated through violence even after 70 years of independence, “they are mistaken.” “I will like to tell CPM that it is not possible,” the BJP chief said. He also asked Vijayan whether people had given him the mandate for elimination of BJP/RSS workers in the state.

The BJP chief waved and acknowledged greetings from thousands of BJP workers as he joined the yatra led by state party president, Kummanam Rajasekharan. He also paid tributes to party workers who had lost their lives in political violence in the state before addressing the public meeting. Shah had flagged off the yatra at Payyannur in Kannur, the northern district of the state with a history of clashes between CPM and BJP-RSS workers, on 3 October. The padayatra was to highlight the ‘Left’s atrocities’ in Kerala under the LDF government. Earlier, Rajesekharan denied allegations by the ruling CPM and opposition congress that the march was to create communal divisions in the society. He also said the yatra had received ’tremendous’ support from all sections of the people. Union minister Pon Radhakrishnan said the yatra was to save’ the people of the state. The padayatra had criss-crossed 11 districts in the state with four chief ministers, including Yogi Aditiyanath of Uttar Pradesh, senior party leaders and Union ministers taking part in the high-pitched campaign against the ruling LDF. Remarks by BJP leaders also kicked up controversies as the march progressed. Adityanath wanted Kerala to learn from Uttar Pradesh’s record in health care and Goa chief minister Manohar Parikkar alleged that Kerala was being ruled by ‘rogues’, triggering counter remarks from the CPM. Shah had skipped the march through Vijayan, the chief minister’s home town, in Kannur district, as he had to rush to Delhi for an important meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Shah had walked about seven km from Payyannur to Pilathara in the district during the rally. Representatives of the NDA partners in the state — Tushar Vellapally of BDJS (Bharat Dharma Jana Sena), Tribal leader CK Janu of Janadhipathya Rashtriya Sabha, PC Thomas of Kerala Congress (Thomas) were among those who attended the public meeting.
