The murder of a BJP Yuva Morcha activist in Dakshina Kannada followed by resignations of several unit heads of the organisation that has put the ruling BJP under pressure came for review by Union Home Minister Amit Shah who took stock of the law and order situation on Thursday.
While he took stock of the political situation and the fallout for BJP from party leaders, he was also briefed by two senior police officers, including Director-General and Inspector-General of Police Praveen Sood, on the ground situation in Dakshina Kannada.
BJP leaders have been under pressure since the murder of Yuva Morcha office-bearer Praveen Nettaru at Bellare recently, as it was followed by resignations of Yuva Morcha office-bearers in several districts. The issue has also been discussed multiple times on party platforms, party sources said.
