THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: BJP national president Amit Shah will lead a campaign, “Red Terror” in the state immediately after Onam. This has been conceived as per the directive of the national RSS leadership to lead a campaign against the Left Government in the state against their political violence. After the BJP central leadership sent union finance and defence minister Arun Jaitley to visit the slain RSS leader S. L. Rajesh’s home, now it is the turn of Amit Shah to visit the state. A top State BJP leader told DC that Amit Shah would be arriving in the State by mid-September.
“The dates are yet to be finalised as the programme is being envisaged by the central BJP leadership as per the directive of the RSS national leadership. The political campaign has been titled, Red Terror, and Amit Shah will arrive in the State immediately after Onam”, said a top BJP leader. Earlier, Amit Shah had promised the State BJP leadership that he would be coming on October 22 to celebrate his birthday and was keen to see the strides the party had made in the State.
While the State leadership was actively working on the formation of booth committees, they got entangled in the medical college scam which rocked the BJP State leadership and even central leaders after Parliament witnessed pandemonium. The political violence has come as a blessing in disguise for the BJP and it has been focusing on the political campaign while the LDF is on the backfoot.
