With political scuffles and murders on the rise ahead of the upcoming Kerala Assembly polls, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) delegation is set to meet the Election Commission here on Wednesday over the increasing political crimes in the state.
Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Ababs Naqvi, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Nirmala Sitharaman and Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda are likely to be part of the delegation besides others.
Sunilkumar, a youth Congress worker, was yesterday hacked to death allegedly by Left backed DYFI workers in Alappuzha.
