In a sensational revelation, the Tamil Nadu police have uncovered a plot to assassinate BJP Tamil Nadu State General Secretary, A P Muruganandam. The conspiracy was allegedly foiled at the last moment, creating a wave of shock across political circles.
AP Muruganandam, hailing from Coimbatore, has been a key figure in the BJP, serving as the State General Secretary. He has played a significant role in several party campaigns, including his work as a coordinator for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Varanasi constituency during the 2019 parliamentary elections. He is also known for his active involvement in protests in states like Kerala, West Bengal, and other regions outside of BJP control.
Muruganandam was a vocal critic of the banned organization, Popular Front of India (PFI), and was instrumental in the campaign leading to the group’s proscription. Recently, he contested in the Tirupur constituency during the parliamentary elections.
Over the past few weeks, police across various states, including Tamil Nadu, have arrested several youths who infiltrated from West Bengal, many of whom were reportedly linked to Bangladeshi networks. Among those arrested by the Tirupur police, a group of infiltrators from Bangladesh is believed to have been involved in the plot to assassinate Muruganandam.
During interrogation, the arrested individuals revealed that they had been planning to eliminate Muruganandam as part of a larger operation targeting BJP leaders. The group, which had carried out acts of vandalism in several states, had Muruganandam on their list due to his prominent role within the BJP and his stance against extremist organizations.
Following this discovery, security around Muruganandam has been significantly tightened. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has also issued an advisory, urging him to remain vigilant. The thwarted assassination plot has sent shockwaves through the party and the public alike, highlighting concerns over the safety of political leaders in the state.
Further investigations are ongoing, and law enforcement agencies are working to uncover more details about the group’s activities and any potential collaborators involved in the plot.
