Political Tensions Flare as BJP Accuses Kerala Police of Brutality

BJP Kerala President Rajeev Chandrasekhar has accused local police of committing acts of brutality against BJP workers at the Edapazhanji Shri Balamurugan temple.

He demands accountability from Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and brands the incident state-sponsored violence, alleging it reflects political motivations and fears of electoral defeat.

Escalating tensions have led to arrests of over 100 individuals following a clash over a land dispute, featuring BJP and CPI(M) involvement, and a subsequent protest outside a local police station.
