Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K. Sudhakaran on Sunday sought an investigation against top leaders of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Kerala alleging that they had “clear knowledge” of the attempts to make crude bombs ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
During his election campaign at Panunda in Kannur, the Congress leader told The Hindu that in the wake of the the Panoor crude bomb explosion, the United Democratic Front (UDF) candidates contesting in the Lok Sabha elections were forced to ensure their safety independently. “We have no other options now. Our candidates are well aware of the political style of the CPI(M) based on aggression. We are all prepared to meet any situation when we go out for campaigns,” he said.
