BJP chief Amit Shah Tuesday condoled the death of a party MLA in Naxal attack in Chhattisgarh and said this act of cowardice cannot deter the party from its commitment to fight Naxalism.
BJP MLA Bhima Mandavi and four security personnel were killed on Tuesday when their convoy was attacked by Naxalites in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district, days before the first-phase of elections in the state, police said.
Expressing anguish over the attack, Shah in series of tweets said, "Such act of cowardice can not deter BJP from its commitment to fight Naxalism."
