    The BJP made stupid and false claims on the deaths of people in Karnataka and Kerala and blamed it on poor law and order situation. Now can they explain why their workers and activists are getting killed in states like Maharashtra, Assam, UP and Rajasthan where they are ruling? What is happening to the law and order situation in these states?
