Bomb Thrown at BJP Office in Thiruvananthapuram, Left Denies Role

Thiruvananthapuram: A crude bomb was hurled at the BJP office in Thiruvananthapuram at midnight; nobody was injured.

The bomb was thrown 45 minutes after the BJP's Kerala chief Kummanam Rajasekharan left the office. "The CPM'S hundred days in power is synonymous with violence. It's a breakdown of law and order and we will defend ourselves in every possible manner," he told reporters today.
