Ram Navami has seen communal tension and incidents at various locations across Jharkhand and other states in recent years. The Murhu incident drew immediate attention from the BJP state leadership.

BJP Jharkhand president Aditya Sahu has been actively directing the party’s response to law and order concerns across the state. Earlier, opposition parties have repeatedly raised concerns over the state government’s handling of public order situations in Jharkhand.

The BJP has maintained that the state government failed to take adequate preventive measures ahead of the Ram Navami processions. The inquiry committee’s report is expected to form the basis of the party’s formal demands from the administration.
