The Communist Party of India (CPM) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Kerala have declared war on each other, as both sides went on an attacking spree on each other’s party offices, resulting in major property damage.


The clashes between the workers of the two political outfits have erupted regularly in the past years, claiming an almost equal number of people from both sides. A number of violent incidents were reported between BJP and CPM workers since Thursday night in Thiruvananthapuram, including attacks on residences of cadres.


The BJP State Committee Office was attacked early yesterday. BJP Kerala president Kummanom Rajasekharan was in the building during the incident, sources said. According to reports, CCTV footage showed Democratic Youth Federation of India State Committee member IP Binu and Students' Federation of India State Secretary Prajin the premises at the time of the attack.

CPM State Secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan’s house was among the many residences which were pelted with stones.
