BJP corporator shot dead in Varanasi


Lucknow, Nov 4 (IANS): A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) corporator was shot dead in Varanasi, police said.

Shiv Seth, 40, was the corporator from Rampurwa ward. He was returning home when unidentified assailants opened fire at him in Bhelupur area on Tuesday night, the police said.

Seth who was shot in the head, was declared dead after being rushed to a hospital.

A case against unidentified persons has been registered and investigations are underway, a police official told IANS.

Circle Officer (CO) Bhelupur DP Shukla said all possible angles behind the killing were being explored.

The murder of a BJP corporator in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's parliamentary constituency was an indication of the worsening law and order situation in the state, BJP spokesman Vijay Bajhadur Pathak said.

A few days back a ruling Samajwadi Party (SP) corporator Bantu Yadav was shot at during a funeral in the state capital.

Yadav is battling for life in a city hospital. Four persons were arrested in connection with the shooting.

    "The murder of a BJP Corporator in Prime Minister Modi's Parliamentary constituency was (is?) an indication of the worsening law and order situation in the state"
    The above was said by none other than BJP Spokesman Vijay Bajhadur Pathak....!!! (As written in above news item)
    Does any one want any more assertions of "worsening situation" in the Country. It has come out of the horse's mouth, as they say.
    No chance for Bhakts to complain as seculars' making up this news.
    It is same situation elsewhere too where BJPians running the show.
    See how they are opening their mouth wide every now and then with spectacular allegation, latest being about SRK.
    Moment such things happen, BJP immediately washes their hands saying "we have nothing do with that person and his remarks even when such things are said by their officials\Ministers.
