A tribal BJP worker was shot by three bike-borne men in Chhattisgarh’s Maoist-infested Bastar region on Friday. Birju Taram, 53, was the sixth BJP member to be killed this year in the Congress-governed state. Hours before he was shot, Taram had attended a rally of former CM Raman Singh. Amid suspicions of a Maoist hand in the murder, locals and relatives blamed a strongman who had clashed with Taram and other tribals over idol worship, specifically of Durga.
