The BJP had even called the deaths "political murders". BJP president Amit Shah had tweeted he was "deeply hurt by the brutal killing of our young karyakartas."

Union Minister for Human Resource Development Prakash Javadekar on Saturday said that 'political murder' has no place in a democracy.

Javadekar alleged that murder of his party workers in West Bengal's Purulia district are political murders.

"It's a political murder. So far, 19 BJP workers have been killed. The recent killings in West Bengal are inhuman. We condemn this brutal political murder and the murder culture. The people of West Bengal will teach a lesson to those who indulge in such acts. Political murder has no place in a democracy," Javadekar said while briefing media in Kolkata.
