There have been a series of sporadic clashes between CPI(M) and BJP workers in recent month. A crude bomb was hurled at a BJP office in the heart of the city here, with the party alleging that CPI(M) workers were behind the attack. At least four workers were on the top floor of the building, housing the office, when the bomb was hurled. BJP leaders PK Krishnadas and MT Ramesh slammed the CPI(M), saying the bomb attack against the party office should not be seen as an "isolated" incident. "This is a calculated and well-planned attack against the BJP and CPI(M) is behind it," they said.
