BJP-Yuva Morcha march to Kerala Assembly turns violent, police deploy tear gas

The BJP and its youth wing, Yuva Morcha, organised a march to the Kerala Assembly that escalated into violence, prompting police to use tear gas to disperse protesters.

The demonstration was called to highlight alleged irregularities in the Kerala Public Service Commission, particularly delays in recruitment to government positions. The march drew participants from both organisations who sought to highlight concerns over the functioning of the recruitment body.

Police intervened with tear gas as the situation deteriorated during the protest. Details of injuries or arrests remain unclear from the initial reports.
