NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party here on Monday alleged that Communist Party of India (Marxist) cadre have been indulging in “Nandigram-type violence” against its workers in Kerala for several decades. Party spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said that “over the last 40 years since 1960s about 150 Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and BJP workers have been killed in Kerala, especially Kannur district.” A convention was held here at the BJP central office where photographs of victims of alleged CPI (M) violence were mounted on the occasion of Human Rights Day. A delegation from the BJP unit in Kerala was here, led by state unit president P.K Krishna Das and vice-president C. Muralidharan. As many as 15 survivors of violent attacks, many of them amputees, told their stories to reporters. They said their legs and hands had been “cut off” by CPI(M) cadre, often because they had deserted the CPI(M) for the RSS or the BJP. Mr. Rudy said that Nandigram had “exposed the terror tactics” used by the CPI(M) whereas the violence against those opposing the CPI(M) in Kerala had not yet become the subject of national media focus. CompensationBJP president Rajnath Singh, who declared open the convention, announced a compensation of Rs.25,000 for each of the 15 “victims” who had come here from Kerala. Mr. Krishna Das also said that all the victims had been looked after all these years by the party’s state unit.
