Alappuzha: CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan on Saturday blamed RSS and BJP for the attack on the ashram of Swami Sandeepananda Giri. Speaking to repor-ters at Guest House here, Mr. Balakrishnan termed the attack as an assassination bid. “It was a pre-planned atta-ck. The attack was the conspiracy of RSS and BJP for appeasing BJP president Amit Shah. They attacked the ashram on the same day of BJP president's visit to Kerala.

Mr. Balakrishnan has demanded a comprehensive probe in to the attack. He said that the State government was ready to provide security to Swami Sandeepananda Giri.
