Unidentified assassins shot dead a local BJP leader on an Uttar Pradesh highway late on Friday night, continuing the trend of Sangh
parivar activists and leaders getting murdered on Yogi Adityanath’s watch.
The murder of Brijesh Singh, 52, BJP candidate for Narayanpur village panchayat chief, came in the chief minister’s home district of Gorakhpur, about 10km from his spiritual seat in Gorakhpur city.
Brijesh was returning home to Moglaha on his motorcycle after campaigning daylong for the panchayat polls when he was shot in the head and chest.
His supporters, who were following about half a kilometre behind, took him to the BRD Medical College, where he was declared dead on arrival.
