The BJP leader says law and order situation in Kerala has collapsed and the Union government should be ready to dismiss the State government headed by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan
BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has called for a ban on the Popular Front of India (PFI) in the wake of the involvement of PFI men in the recent murder of a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) worker in the district.
Addressing mediapersons on the sidelines of the Kerala Brahmana Sabha (KBS)’s 51st anniversary meeting here on Sunday, Mr. Swamy said the law and order situation in the State had collapsed and that the Union government should be ready to dismiss the State government headed by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
