Kannur: A BJP activist was hacked to death in Kerala's Kannur on Wednesday, in what is suspected to be the revenge killing two days after a worker of the ruling CPM was murdered in the same district.
The BJP has alleged the role of the CPM in the killing of its activist Remith at a village in Dharmadom, which is Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's constituency.
Massive police searches are on in Kannur.
On Monday, 52-year-old CPM worker Mohanan K was attacked at his toddy shop in a busy market and hacked to death by four or five men.
Police sources said the attackers were masked and "the attack is of a political nature."
The CPM has alleged that BJP workers were behind the attack.
Kannur has witnessed a string of attacks on political workers since the Left government came to power in May. Over 300 cases of political violence have been reported in the district in the past five months.
The opposition has accused the government of not acting against the growing political violence.
