BJP MLA O. Rajagopal condemned the recent hacking of a young BJP worker in kannur.

"The law and order situation is worsening day by day," Rajagopal told ANI.

Rajagopal added, "He was attacked when he was travelling on his bike. They came in a car and hit the vehicle. He fell down, and then he was cut in to pieces. His head was severed; his hands and legs were severed."

Rajagopal compared the incident to the recent beheadings of Indian Army soldiers by Pakistan in the Krishna Ghati sector.

Rajagopal blamed the increasing political killings on the government stating, "In Kannur district alone, 14 of our key cadre workers were killed by Marxist ever since Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan assumed office."

This is the 20th political killing in Kerala in the past year.
