Guruvayur, Nov 12 (Agencies): A RSS worker was hacked to death, allegedly by CPI(M) workers at Nenmeni in the temple town Sunday afternoon, police said.

The victim, Anandan, 23, was riding a motorcycle when he was attacked allegedly by the CPI(M) workers, who were in a car. Though he was rushed to hospital, his life could not be saved, police said.

BJP state president Kummanam Rajasekharan alleged that the CPI(M) was behind the attack. “#LeftistTerror bloodshed continues in Kerala. BJP Karyakartha Anand murdered brutally in Guruvayur, Thrissur. Communist terror surging in the state with Jungle Raj In Kerala to aid,” he tweeted.

Anandan, hailing from Brahmakulam, was an accused in a case relating to the murder of a CPI(M) worker in 2013. He was out on bail.

BJP has alleged that as many as 120 BJP workers, 84 in Kannur alone, have been killed in Kerala since 2001. It has claimed that 14 of these killings have taken place since Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan took over the reins of the government last year.

The CPI(M) has in turn, accused BJP and RSS of resorting to violence and denied the involvement of its government and leadership in political killings.
