They are a real wake-up call for the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front Government to get its act together to rein in organisations that are having a free run in the State.
The spate of political murders taking place in Kerala in the recent times is a real wake-up call for the Communist Party of India (Marxist)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) Government to get its act together to rein in organisations that are having a free run in the State.
The two political murders in a span of six hours in Alappuzha on Sunday — that of Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) State secretary K.S. Shan and BJP OBC Morcha State secretary Ranjith Sreenivas — have revealed that the Government agencies have been reportedly sitting back and waiting for the perpetrators of these horrific crimes to strike at will. If Shan was attacked by a car-borne killer-gang on the road near his house at Mannanchery, Ranjith was hacked to death by a 12-member hit squad in front of his mother and wife in the drawing room of his house.
