The vandalism of statues which has been started in North East slowly reached South via West. It is known that local BJP cadre in Tripura defiled the statues of Lenin while they were celebrating their victory in the assembly elections. As the state governor and some central ministers supported them, the BJP workers defiled Dravidian movement founder Periyar statue in Tamil Nadu
In revenge for these developments, Left party workers have defiled Jana Sangh founder Shyam Prasad Mukherjee statue in Kolkata. On the other hand, Ambedkar statue was vandalised by upper caste persons in Meerut, UP. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his anger on these developments and asked home minister Rajnath Singh to take strict measures to control the vandalism of statues. But still, the vandalism is continuing.
