BJP, the known unknown in Kerala 2026
The BJP's emergence in Kerala has significantly altered the political landscape, with traditional rivals, the Congress-led UDF and CPI-M-led LDF, aligning their campaigns against each other. The BJP claims a false fight between the two parties while emphasizing its stance on the Sabarimala issue. While the BJP seeks to capitalize on Hindu sentiment in Kerala, the UDF faces challenges from internal divisions within its Christian and Muslim communities. The LDF has abandoned its previous stance on women's entry into the Sabarimala shrine, aligning with the BJP's position. The outcome of these elections remains uncertain due to a complex interplay of religious affiliations, demographic shifts, and political maneuvering.
