BJP leader, two others killed in Jharkhand


Ranchi, Oct 7 (IANS): Three persons, including a Bharatiya Janata Party leader were murdered in Jharkhand, police said on Saturday.

BJP leader Manoj Nagesia was shot dead on Saturday at Lachragad village in Simdega district. The other two persons were killed in Gumla district on Friday.

Nagesia, who was a former Maoist commander, was shot while he was having breakfast. 

He had joined the BJP in 2014 and had made an unsuccessful bid in the 2014 state assembly poll from Kolebira. The police were yet to arrest anyone for Nagesia's murder.

In the other incident on Friday in Taisera village, 25-year-old Manohar Tirkey was shot dead by Vijay Sahu, who was immediately lynched by an angry mob. 

Sahu shot Tirkey over a minor incident when the latter collided with Sahu while dancing at a tribal festival.

The villagers caught Sahu and thrashed him, smashing his head with stones. No one has been arrested for the killing.

    Minutes after news of senior journalist Gauri Lankesh’s assassination spread on social media, a vocal section of the digital Right not only applauded the gruesome crime but also resorted to whataboutery to justify her killing.

    Lankesh, an independent journalist who edited her own Kannada weekly, was shot dead outside her house by unidentified men in Bangalore on Tuesday night. She had been a fierce critic of the Hindutva organisations and their divisive politics. As if on cue, right-wing activists started justifying or even celebrating her killing.
    NDA MP Rajeev Chandrashekhar’s channel Republic TV came to the right wing’s rescue by introducing a naxal angle to the story, The channel tweeted that the minister has promised to probe the “maoist link to Lankesh’s murder”.
    This is the same BJP which gave tickets to maoist in Jharkhand to contest elections. Another myth is busted.Burnol moment for BJP social media cottage industry.
