BJP chief Amit Shah will launch a 15-day padyatra (foot march) starting 3 October to protest the killings of its workers in Kerala, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said on Monday.

“Shri Amit Shah ji said that from October 3-17 BJP workers will do a ‘padyatra’ in Kerala to protest political violence against its workers and connect with the people,” Goyal said during a press conference at the ongoing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National Executive meet.

A spate of political killings have rocked Kerala with several attacks and counter-attacks between the ruling CPM and the right-wing the BJP and its ideological parent Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

The violence has escalated in recent months in the wake of the murder of a 34-year-old RSS worker, Rajesh, in Thiruvananthapuram on 29 July.
