The Communist Party of India (CPM) activists continue their atrocities in Kerala during elections. The BJP’s temporary election office at Palakuzha, near Muvattupuzha, Ernakulam, was set on fire last night. The office was built by the BJP panchayat committee.

The incident was discovered when the BJP workers arrived in the morning and lodged a complaint with the police. These workers were active there last night. Fortunately, there was nobody inside.

Muvattupuzha police reached the spot and conducted an investigation. BJP-CPM conflicts have happened here before, and such incidents are suspected to continue.

Meanwhile, CPM members turned to hooliganism in Pathanamthitta. They unleashed violence against a shop owner and her elderly relatives, who asked them to vacate the premises that they had been using without paying rent for years. Visuals showed a group led by the CPM area secretary beating up four people, including a woman.

The incident happened at Thengamam in Pathanamthitta. Shop owner Anita (39), her husband Latish (45), Latish’s father Sadasivan (78) and Anita’s father Ravi (69) were seriously injured. The victims complained that Thengamam CPM area secretary Anusi and party/ward members Vinesh and Dhinraj beat them up.

The shop was rented out by a CPM-run organization over three years ago. However, the institution closed during the Corona period and has not paid rent for years. After filing a complaint against this, but to no avail, Anita asked the CPM tenants to vacate.

With this, the assailants unleashed an attack on the owners. People, including the elderly, were brutally beaten. The CCTV footage of this has also come out.
