At the same time, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) tried to gain political influence in the incident and blamed the police's inaction in the incident on the close relationship between CPM and SDPI. K Surendran, the chairman of the People's Party, slammed the ruling party and called for "strong action" against PFI's participation.

According to him, the connection between the Communists and the PFI is obvious, adding that “Kerala is becoming another Syria”. Media reports say that children’s rights are being hindered, and the government is helping others make Kerala a center of terrorism. The BJP leader Krishna Das filed a complaint with NCPCR: “Most of the school’s students come from Hindu and Christian communities. Badges have been used to create hatred among children. The committee should take action on this issue.
