BJP has alleged that Social Democratic Party of India, the political wing of Popular Front of India, is behind the killing of the RSS worker. There are reportedly tensions and conflicts between SDPI and RSS in Elappully region. The present killing is linked with that, suggest initial reports. Condemning the murder, BJP state president K Surendran alleged it was a ‘planned murder’ and blamed this as a failure on the part of the police and state government, for not being able to prevent such untoward incidents in the state. Protesting over the murder, BJP announced a hartal in Malampuzha constituency from 2 pm to 6 pm on Monday, informed BJP leader M Suresh.
