Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy on Friday said Kerala is full of jihadis and added that a warning must be issued to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in wake of the attack at the RSS office in Kallach.

"I think now we must give the Chief Minister a warning that if this kind of violence continues then we will have to have President's rule because if you can't run a state according to the Constitution then you have no right to rule," Swamy told ANI.

"And before that we can send the Chief Minister a directive under Article 256. So, Kerala has now become an impossible place. It is now full of jihadis, they are doing nothing about that and all nationalist forces are being attacked by CPI (M) because the CPI (M) wants chaos as much as possible," he added.

He said the Communists have always been worried about the growth of RSS, adding they think that Hindu consolidation will completely defeat them.

Swamy further said they have so far been relying on division of Hindu votes.

Four RSS workers were injured after some unknown persons hurled a crude bomb at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) office near Nadapuram district.

The attack took place hours after an RSS functionary in Madhya Pradesh announced a bounty of Rs. one crore for beheading the Kerala Chief Minister.
