BJP Condemns Schoolgirl Murder, Blames DMK Government for Rising Crime

Ramanathapuram, November 20, 2025 – Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) cadres staged a demonstration in Ramanathapuram today, condemning the brutal murder of a schoolgirl by a stalker in Rameswaram. BJP leaders are pointing fingers at the ruling DMK government for a perceived rise in crime and drug use, alleging governmental incompetence.

Speaking at the demonstration, BJP national council member Puratchi Kavidasan stated that the continuous flow of liquor, ganja, and other drugs throughout Tamil Nadu has created unsafe conditions for women and children. He asserted that the DMK government has failed to protect its people and should resign. “When the government cannot protect its people and had miserably failed in its duty, they should step down on their own, else, the people would show them the doors in the ensuing elections,” he said.

BJP district president Muralidharan expressed concern over the teenaged girl’s murder, allegedly committed by a stalker under the influence of alcohol. He also accused DMK leaders of hypocrisy, claiming they would be quick to condemn similar crimes if they occurred in BJP-led states, like Uttar Pradesh or Madhya Pradesh. The BJP leaders at the demonstration highlighted what they considered to be the silence of political parties in the government regarding the tragedy.

With elections approaching, BJP leaders urged the public to consider the safety and security they believe only the BJP and AIADMK can provide, contrasting their governance with what they perceive as the failures of the current administration.
