Violence triggered by CPM, BJP, says Ramesh Chennithala

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala has claimed that the UDF hartal against the policies of the central and state governments was a success. He alleged that the police, the LDF and the BJP had triggered violence at some places. “We had announced the hartal 12 days ago and not overnight. This was not the first time that Kerala witnessed a hartal," he said. Reports said the KSRTC buses that conducted services after the police promised security were attacked by the UDF workers in many places.
