With local body elections in Kerala nearing, the Communist party workers have issued a death threat to RK Premdas chief election agent of BJP at Parapparam in Pinarayi.
Premdas is the chief election agent of BJP Pinarayi division candidate, V Manivarnan.
The CPM comrades vandalized decorations made by the BJP workers and hurled abuses in front of the house of RK Premdas who is a retired Agriculture officer with the Kerala government.
It started after BJP workers going on a door to door campaign in Pinarayi, considered to be a “Red Stronghold” where no one has ever challenged the authority of the communists in the area.
V Manivarnan said that the CPM is resorting to violent methods after the BJP made inroads entering into the red fort of the party which also happens to be the native place of the incumbent Kerala Chief Minister, Pinarayi Vijayan.
The BJP has registered complaints with the Pinarayi police station after CPM comrades gave death threats.
However, Manivarnan said BJP workers will not bow down to the threat and intimidation tactics and called CPM a fasicst organisation without any respect for democracy and democratic ethics.
