BJP killing CPI-M comrades in Tripura and Kerala: Sitaram Yechury counters Modi
Kolkata, Jan 2 (IBNS): CPI-M general secretary Sitaram Yechury has countered Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement where he said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers are getting killed due to political fights in West Bengal, Tripura and Kerala.
While West Bengal is ruled by Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress, Tripura and Kerala are ruled by the BJP and Left respectively.
Lashing out at the Prime Minister, Yechury said: "PM has no respect for the post he occupies. He is misleading as usual, because BJP-RSS are targeting and killing our comrades in Tripura and Kerala."

In an interview with ANI on Tuesday, Modi has expressed his concern over the political fights which occurred in the panchayat polls in West Bengal.
He condemned the killing of several BJP leaders in West Bengal as well as Tripura and Kerala.
The TMC had swept the panchayat polls, which turned bloody. Also 33 percent of the total seats went uncontested as the opposition parties accused the TMC of resorting to violence to stop rival candidates from filing nominations.
In 2018, the CPI-M government was uprooted in Tripura by the BJP.
