Even though none of the arrested in connection with the murder of Deepark Rao at Katipalla in Mangaluru taluk has any links with Popular Front of India and its political arm Social Democratic Party of India, the Karnataka state unit of Bharatiya Janata Party has held the two outfits responsible for the murder.

Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru, BJP state general secretary C T Ravi said 24 “Hindu activists” had been killed in the state in the last four years including Deepak Rao, who was murdered near on Wednesday.

He demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for "failing" to protect the lives of Hindu activists. He also demanded that the probe into the murder of Deepak Rao should be handed over to the National Investigating Agency.

"These killings prove there is no safety and security to the common man. This is also an indication of the collapse of law and order. What government is in existence in the state? Civilian government or Taliban government?" he questioned.

Ravi charged that the SDPI and PFI were directly involved in the murders and the organisations had the support of the state government. "The Congress government has withdrawn 175 cases that were filed against members of the organisation. After this, the killing of Hindu activists has been going on unabated," Ravi said.

The BJP leader said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had never shown the political will to crush "terror elements" and "anti-social" elements in the state. He wanted to know why the Congress government was hesitant to send a report to the Centre about banning SDPI and PFI.
