Former RSS leader Kundan Chandrawat of Madhya Pradesh, who retracted his statement offering Rs 1 crore for the head of Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, has said that he will continue to speak against the CPI(M)’s murderous politics in Kerala. 

Said Chandrawat to THE WEEK, “Thanks to my statement, everyone, across the length and breadth of the country, knows what is happening in Kerala. Communists have become destroyers of the nation. I know I crossed the limit that day. I got very emotional, which I shouldn’t have. But even today the chief minister of Kerala has not taken action against the culprits in his party. He and his government should abide by the Constitution and take action against the workers of the CPI(M) who constantly target and kill the workers of the RSS and the BJP. If Vijayan is not able to do it, he is not fit to be the chief minister of a state of the republic of India.”

Chandrawat said that he was not afraid of threats and that he would proudly defend his motherland till his last breath.

The RSS had earlier removed Chandrawat from all his posts after his comment on Vijayan triggered controversy. “I have no problems with the RSS. There was pressure from various quarters to act against me. In the RSS, there is no membership. I can continue to be an RSS man even if I am not officially a part of the organisation,” said Chandrawat, who belongs to Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh. 

The Madhya Pradesh Police on Saturday filed a case under section 505 of the Indian Penal Code against Chandrawat. Said Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, CPI(M)’s secretary in Kerala, “The National Investigation Agency should examine if a case under Unlawful Activities Prevention Act can be registered [against Chandrawat].”
