In a recent development in Kannur the local police have seized lethal wepons from Panoor area in Kannur. The police team recovered the wepons from an uninhabited ground behind the BJP office.

Kannur SP told India Today that they have recovered 2 swords, 4 iron rods and one knife.

The search operation was carried out based on the information given by municipality cleaning staff who were cleaning the bushes. The investigation is underway to track the owners of these weapons he said.

Responding to the serious allegation, BJP district president Sathyaprakash said that BJP have no role behind the incident.

The weapons were seized from a ground behind their office. In the morning they have spotted a certain group of municipality workers pretending as cleaning the area. They might have conspired to put the blame on BJP, he said CPIM has lashed out the BJP alleging that they are the ones who are attempting to incite violence in the state.

October 3, BJP chief Amit Shah flagged off the Janaraksha Yathra in Kannur. The two-week rally would travel through 11 districts before finally culminating in Trivandrum on the 17th of this month.

The high profile event which was expected to be a boost for the party in the state has turned to be a burden for them. The second day of Yathra witnessed scenes were scores of migrant labours taking part in the Yathra.

This led to the allegation that the party has not yet been able to reach out to the people of the state.

On the third day BJP former state president and senior leader V Muraleedharan did a Facebook live of the Yathra which apparently showed their cadres shouting provocative slogans against CPIM leaders and threatening to attack them.

Following this on October 8 a day after the Yathra left Kannur, a CPIM rally came under attack in Panoor area.

Five CPIM workers and four policemen were attacked with country made bombs and stones at the rally. Nine BJP workers have been arrested in connection with the attack. BJP national leadership came down to Kerla with the Jan Raksha Yathra making serious allegations against the ruling Left front. They accused the CPIM of inciting violence in the state.

However the 7 days of Jan Raksha Yathra tells an entirely different story.
