BJP’s protest march in Thrissur on Tuesday over the murder of Nirmal
The Kerala BJP leadership stands exposed yet again on its claims of political murders by CPI(M), as the police have now said that the latest incident of the murder of Yuva Morcha worker Nirmal in Thrissur is not a case of political rivalry. Among the five accused that the police have taken into custody is a BJP worker too. The BJP had on Monday observed a harthal in Thrissur distrct accusing the CPI(M) of having orchestrated the murder.
Nirmal, a 20-year old worker of the Yuva Morcha, was stabbed during a temple festival in Mannuthi. The Police have now arrested five people regarding this murder – Sooraj, Siddhu, Yesudas, Arun and Sachin. Arun from Ilanjikkulam is an active worker of the BJP, said the Police. According to the police, the murder was the result of personal rivalries. A dispute regarding the “Kummaattikali” performance as part of the festival led to the murder.

With the news of the murder having no political tinge to it coming out, the BJP is facing heat in social media and elsewhere for putting troubling the public with harthals, making false claims. The BJP has in the past two months called for 10 harthals in different districts of Kerala, over various issues. Last month, a similar situation played out in Neyyatinkara in Thiruvananthapuram district, where the BJP called for a harthal after the death of a man, who barely had any connection to the BJP. It was later revealed that the murder was due to disputes over the sale of jackfruits and had no political connections.
The BJP has been trying to create an impression in the national media that its cadres are facing violence across Kerala. However, contrary to these reports, the RSS cadres have been found to be involved in many murderous attacks on left cadres in different parts of the state.
