The two party workers had been hacked to death in what is suspected to be a fallout of the rivalry between the two parties in the politically volatile Kannur district yesterday.
The UDF tried to corner both the CPI-M, the lead partner in the ruling LDF, and BJP over the murder, saying they had failed to control the activities of their cadres and statements "encouraging violence" from certain leaders of these parties also cause concern.
"There is no breakdown of law and order in the state. The government is committed to take stern action against persons responsible for violence irrespective of political party consideration," he said, adding law will take its own course.
He said police have taken necessary steps to bring the culprits to book and the situation in the area was calm now. There was a "deliberate" attempt from certain quarters to create an impression that law and order has collapsed in the state, he said.
