BJP trying to create riots in Kerala: Kodiyeri

KOCHI: CPM State secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan has said the BJP has been trying to create riots in Kerala. “They are trying to destabilise the government; it is unusual thing that the prime minister himself has come out to support the hartal,” he alleged.

Referring to frequent hartals, Kodiyeri said there is no need to ban hartal but it should be restricted. “For this, all political parties should reach a consensus. On the other hand, the BJP has been trying to enter Guinness book of world records by observing maximum number of hartal,” he said.
