Upping the ante, the BJP Tuesday alleged that it was a “police raj” in Sabarimala and asserted that it would intensify its campaign against the CPI(M)-led LDF government’s move to “destroy” the Lord Ayyappa temple.
BJP state president P S Sreedharan Pillai alleged that the ruling CPI(M), using police, was trying to “crush” the party and sangh parivar workers who, he said, were staging a “Gandhian model” of protest against the government’s “hasty move” to implement the Supreme Court verdict permitting the entry of women of all age groups into the hill shrine.
