BJP National Executive Member L Ganesan today said the May 1 Chennai train blast was aimed at creating panic during the party's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's poll campaign in Andhra Pradesh.

Talking to newsmen here, he alleged that the arrest of suspected ISI operative Zakir Hussain four days back only proved his charge that fundamentalists from across the border were infiltrating India. He demanded that both the Central and State governments take action to prevent such infiltration.

On the six-party alliance formed in Tamil Nadu for the Lok Sabha polls, Ganesan, BJP's South Chennai constituency candidate, said "the front will continue".
