Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president J.P. Nadda has accused the Pinarayi Vijayan-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) government of soft-pedalling on radical activities, paving the way for a breakdown of law and order in Kerala.
Inaugurating a Secretariat siege organised by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) against the purported misgovernance and policy paralysis in State on October 30, Mr. Nadda alleged that the government had been underplaying extremist activities which, he claimed, had unfolded in the recent past.
While condemning the Kalamassery blasts that killed three people and injured several others at a Christian religious gathering a day ago, the BJP leader claimed that the incident reflected on the growing threats faced by the people of Kerala. Accusing the LDF government of covering up the Elathur train arson case that occurred in Kozhikode in April 2023, he said the Central government was willing to extend full support for independent inquiries in such cases.
