Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president K. Surendran said here on Saturday that the law and order situation in Kerala had failed miserably. Addressing the media soon after the murder of RSS leader Sreenivasan at Melamuri, Mr. Surendran said that the State government, particularly its Home Department, had failed.
Describing the twin murders that took place in Palakkad on Friday and Saturday as a repeat of the murders that had taken place in Alappuzha a couple of months ago, the BJP leader said that the Centre would have to intervene if the State continued to fail in its duties.
He said the police had failed to erect even a single post at Melamuri, which had witnessed communal tensions some years ago, in the wake of the murder of a Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) worker at Elappully on Friday.
