Political Turmoil: Black Oil Bounty Controversy

A Youth Congress leader's controversial call for a reward to pour black oil on SNDP Yogam general secretary Vellappally Natesan has spurred backlash from the BJP. This stems from Natesan's contentious remarks against a journalist, leading to heavy criticism from multiple fronts.

The political climate in Kerala heated up as a Youth Congress leader allegedly offered a reward for pouring black oil on SNDP Yogam's secretary, Vellappally Natesan, following his inflammatory remarks against a journalist.

Reacting swiftly, BJP leader K Gopalakrishnan condemned the perceived 'jihadist mindset' behind the call, hinting at potential future instability unless the BJP comes to power in the state.

Natesan had previously berated a reporter from Malappuram, labeling him as an extremist, drawing criticism from the Kerala Union of Working Journalists and inciting political dissent.
