KANNUR: it has no doubts in showy saffron colors in Kerala, a state where Hindutva politics has never been middle-of-the-road, BJP has initiated UP chief minister Yogi Aditya Nath into its "Jan Raksha Yatra" against "political killings" of BJP-RSS cadres.

Aditya Nath will get in touch with Kannur, the home district of chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, on Wednesday to join BJP president Amit Shah on the yatra, the only BJP CM to be invited so far. The intent seems to be to rev up the Hindutva quotient to polarize opinion against CPM, which BJP accuses of promoting violence and being soft on Islamic fundamentalism.

The yatra has a title, "All must live! Against jihadi-red terror", reflects the aim to tag the Left for appeasing minority fundamentalists and meshes with BJP's campaign. The UP CM, who has an antagonistic image and is a symbol of assertive saffron politics, is also seen to be a crowd-puller, not the least for his novelty in Shah launched the yatra from Payyanur in Kannur on Tuesday and several senior functionaries are likely to join the 14-day march against political violence which BJP claims have seen 120 of its workers being killed by CPM workers.

Yogi will reach Kannur on Wednesday and take part in the yatra and other political events. He may stay the whole day and spend time with party workers. His significance was clear, with Shah announcing Yogi's arrival to an enthusiastic response from the crowd in Kannur and Pilathara.
