So far no outfit has claimed responsibility of the blast.Ahead of the general election its a clear signal given whoever the culprit that it is not going to be easy polling days in the state.If the government is sensitive enough on fair election has to deploy extra security forces for the security of the public. We have to wait and see how government is going to act on it.
