The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Tuesday rubbished allegation that it was creating a West Bengal like violent situation in Kerala and said that all the allegations leveled against the party are baseless.

CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat told ANI, "In West Bengal it is an absolutely unprecedented situation the post poll violence in whole India, never before in our history we have seen this king of fascistic terror."

"You cannot compare the situation in Kerala with what is happening in Bengal. All allegations against us are baseless," she added.

The BJP delegation appealed to the President to look into the matter in which a 38-year-old party worker was allegedly killed by CPI(M) workers during the celebration rally in Idavilangu in Kerala on Thursday.
