News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever there is talk of any ‘difficult challenge’ in Indian politics, the name of South India comes at the top, especially Kerala. For years, BJP has been trying to make its place there, but now it seems that Amit Shah has planned something big. Recently, Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Kerala has intensified the political activity in the state.
The direction of the wind is changing, the victory of ‘Thrissur’
The truth is that for years in Kerala, BJP was seen as a party whose vote percentage increases but seats do not come. But Suresh Gopi’s victory in Thrissur has opened a new window of hope for BJP. Amit Shah knows very well that if one seat can be won, the entire state can also be won. Now BJP is considering it not just as a ‘dream’ but as its next big project.
Shah’s strategy: Focus on booth, not just rally
The most special thing about Amit Shah’s ‘Mission Kerala’ is that he is not coming back just after holding big rallies. This time his strategy is very micro level. He is sitting with the workers and taking direct feedback. Amit Shah’s direct message is – “Win the booth, win the election.” That means BJP is now planning to reach every house in the state, so that the traditional stronghold of Left (LDF) and Congress (UDF) can be demolished.
New equation: linking castes and communities
Politics in Kerala is not just about ideology but also about social equations. This time Amit Shah is laying more emphasis on strengthening BJP’s penetration among the Ezhava community and Christian community of the state. You must have noticed that in the recent past, BJP has increased its communication with Christian religious leaders. Amit Shah believes that unless BJP unites every section of the society, the path of Kerala will not be easy.
challenges still remain
It is not that the path is completely clear. CPM’s organization in Kerala is very strong and Congress has its old base. But Amit Shah is known for laying his electoral chessboard. This time the ‘operation’ he has started for the Kerala Assembly elections has forced the opposition parties to think.
It will be really interesting to see in the coming days whether the people of Kerala now give a chance to a ‘third option’ or whether this mission of Shah will continue for much longer.
