Addressing the recent killing of Hindu activist Suhas Shetty, Vijayendra said the family has lost its pillar of support. He announced that the BJP would provide ₹25 lakh in compensation to Shetty's family and urged the state government to extend similar support considering the gravity of the situation.
Vijayendra demanded a National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe to ensure swift and impartial justice. He criticised the police, alleging negligence despite knowing the threats to Shetty’s life. "The police failed to offer protection, which led to this tragic murder," he said.
Calling the murder "inhumane" and "unforgivable", Vijayendra blamed the Congress government's policies and the Home Department for failing to protect Hindu activists. He stated that the Hindu community has lost faith in the government and added that such incidents must never happen again.
