Rijiju accusses Kerala of supporting communists, leading to attack on BJP workers

Kiren Rijiju accused Kerala of overly supporting communists which led to lleged attacks and violence against BJP workers. Thus, his statement invited a war of words between Left party leaders and the BJP members.

Union minister Kiren Rijiju’s made a remark that political violence allegedly by the Left “cannot be tolerated” in a democracy and accused the CPI(M) of harbouring “anti-national” thoughts.



Hitting out at the BJP-RSS, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury said the Left party was capable of giving a suitable answer if the saffron outfits did not stop alleged political violence.

Even before the start of ‘Jan Raksha Yatra’ the CPI has criticised BJP chief Amit Shah for promoting religion based politics.
