Speaking on the killing of the BJP leader, party's state in-charge, Om Prakash Mathur siad, "While Ratan Dubey he was chairing a meeting with the party workers in an interior village, was attacked by the Naxals... I appeal to the party workers & leaders that we will take revenge for this by winning the elections. We are with his family... Target killings are happening continuously. This shows that the law & order situation in the state is worsening..."

"Target killing of BJP workers is happening continuously. It happened a few days ago in Mohla-Manpur and now today in Narayanpur.
