Thiruvananthapuram, July 31 (IBNS): Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan lost his cool ahead of his meeting with BJP and RSS members on Monday as he asked the journalists to "get out" from the room, media reports said.

CM Vijayan held a peace meeting with BJP and RSS members on Monday following the death of a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) worker Rajesh Edavakode after his palm was chopped off few days ago.

The meeting was also called at the backdrop of violence witnessed by the state recently.

Though the journalists were not stopped from entering the meeting room but asked to leave when the CM arrived.

The Chief Minister himself shouted "get out", as per media reports.

Rajesh, 34, died in a private hospital in Thiruvananthapuram after the brutal attack left his palm chopped off.

Inspector General of Police Manoj Abraham told NDTV that: "The attack was by a gang of men involving CPM (Communist Party of India (Marxist) activists. However, there was a long history of enmity between one of the accused and the victim. We are also probing any angle of political motive."

Rajesh died two days after a BJP state office was attacked.
