Vijayan govt sponsoring murders: Rijiju CPI(M) capable of giving suitable answer to BJP-RSS, says Yechury
Minister of state for home Kiren Rijiju on Monday accused the CPI(M) government in Kerala of “sponsoring” the killings of BJP-RSS workers and said the BJP “will expose” the Pinarayi Vijayan government.
“The political killings in Kerala are sponsored by the CPI(M) government,” Rijiju said here while participating in the Jan Raksha Yatra of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
“And we shall expose it,” he said, reiterating what party chief Amit Shah had said on Sunday while kicking off the Jan Raksha Yatra in New Delhi, similar to the padyatra the BJP launched in Kerala on October 3.
Rijiju said “whatever the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) government is doing in society does not suit democracy”.
Hundreds of BJP leaders and workers marched from Connaught Place to the CPI(M) office in Gole Market area on Monday, like they did on Sunday.

workers of the BJP.
Minister of state for external affairs, Gen VK Singh, who also participated in the Jan Raksha Yatra said “wherever there is a Communist government they try to instil fear among the people by spreading violence”.
“Shall we fear such killings?” he asked the BJP workers, who replied with a loud “No”.
“We won’t fear, we shall spread awareness against the communists,” Singh said.
Shah on Sunday alleged the political killings were being carried out on the “orders” of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in order to “instil fear” among people and prevent the BJP from expanding in Kerala.
CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury on Monday hit out at the RSS-BJP, saying the Left party was capable of giving a suitable answer if the saffron outfits did not stop political violence.
The CPI(M) on Monday held a march till the BJP headquarters here to protest against the alleged saffron terror in Kerala and to counter the ongoing protest marches of the BJP against the alleged violence by the Left.
“We will not keep quiet. We warn the BJP that if they do not stop violence then we will answer back. We will not bow down,” Yechury said.
The march was led by Yechury who was joined by former party general secretary Prakash Karat and other politburo members.

Yechury alleged that while the BJP was campaigning in Delhi against the “Left violence” in Kerala, it was continuing violence against the Left cadres.
Yechury referred to Sunday’s incident in which RSS workers allegedly threw bombs at Left cadres in Kannur.
Addressing the gathering, CPI(M) politburo member Brinda Karat targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah over the violence. She alleged that Shah was trying to instigate terror against the Left cadres in Kerala, but the people of the state would not bow down in front of the RSS or the BJP.
