The party hopes to win its first Lok Sabha seat from the state this year.
The BJP has continued to reach out to Kerala but has managed to gain little foothold. The state, which will go to the polls on April 26, has seen a rise in the BJP’s vote share, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party hopes to register its first Lok Sabha election victory this year.
Manisha Pande and Dhanya Rajendran spoke to journalists Aby Tharakan and Binu Karunakaran, and content creator Anusha Andrews, to understand why it’s taking so long for the BJP to gain popularity in the southern state.
With films such as Kerala Story, the BJP has been propelling narratives that can help it reach out to the Christian minority. “We were angry at the bad Malayali accent,” says Anusha.
Manisha and Dhanya also discuss how chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan is seen as a strongman in the state, the infighting within the anti-BJP alliance, the issues that matter to Kerala’s voters, and how the BJP is allying with right-wing Christian forces on planks such as “love jihad”.
Watch.

In north India the rajputs are saying "Kamal ka phul hamare bhul". Kerala State is different from rest of India.
Both Suresh Gopi and Krishna Kumar have made some comments in public in recent months which shows a hidden deeprooted casteist mind in them. Also there was a highhanded act from Suresh Gopi against a female journalist. The panelists somehow missed discussing them.

@@LV-ei1ce Even a 10yr old here knows how to read and right. But what's the point of being able to read and write if they lacks any sort of morals, in which Education plays a huge part. This lack of moral is what makes them like sheeps instead of thinking of their own. Too prove this, just take into account the difference in stuffs like the difference in public mannerisms and the treatment of other people as well public properties by the people of my state versus others. We don't spit pan everywhere, we don't shit on roads, we don't make trains a filthy mess nor sit on reserved compartments without a ticket, we don't impose our beliefs on others and atrocities against woman are significantly less and in case something happens, we don't try to silence them but we empowers them to take a stand. My sister or mother will be safe if they venture alone in my city even at the darkest hours without being feared of getting molested or r@p3d but is that the case in your city? Every year during holi, woman are getting gang molested and what are you guys going about it? There's not even a single year this hasn't happened. Also stuffs like invading the privacy of others like it's their own business, doing cultural policing etc, even to foreigners (there are multiple accounts of this happening, and let me remind you of the recent case of a foreigner that got r@pe3d and the criminals were all Hindus). The people that only knows how to read write will think that it's the woman's fault to camp out at night, but won't even have the moral to think the nights are unsafe because of men like them and indeed they're the one who should change.
And everyone conveniently ignores minority communalism, ineffective governance of UDF and LDF - and Communist corruption.
Yeah Modi is so popular in Kerala , that is why his party is getting zero One guy in your group said krishnakumar is popular , which planet you are living , this time also krishnakumar is going to get a distant 3rd, also krishnakumar get excitement when people eating from the floor .
Happy to see Anusha after a long time , hope you are doing well !
Manisha you should talk with someone who have some idea about the ground realities in Kerala. BJP has no chance and the last years UDF win was because of the hopes on Rahul which he miserably failed to honor....
Insightful talk
I feel people should be educated about Role & Responsibilities of an MP before elections... i know main stream media will not do this... Hope News Minute and News Laundary does!

@thenewsminute for the next session consider quality media persons rather than these bunch of fools who talking unnecessary things, Why ur not discussed about current inflation and violence happening in country right now. right wing own most shares of Leading media's in kerala right now, As like Godi media kerala media also targeting left to help bjp to lead. You have to realize when all media person around you is only talking negative things about LDF rather than pointing positive things happening in kerala right now. Road, Infrastructures, Quality of living, Keeping state India's No 1 State. Ask the media how many debates they have conducted regarding lie's spread by Modi, Ask what happen to Former Health minister Mrs shylaja teacher.

In kerala some people hate BJP but they love SDPI, PFI and left terrorism..they will never pin point against them that is the hypocracy of educated people.
BJPs main objective in this election is to maximise their vote share in 4 or 5 constituencies. If in the process they win 1or 2 fine otherwise it does not matter they will come to power anyway. In the next assembly elections 2026 RSS cadres will cross vote for CPM in 10 or 15 seats and stop congress (UDF) from coming to power. Out of power both at centre and state continuously for 15 years UDF will disintegrate and congress will collapse. The Hindu and some Christian congressmen will join BJP. Muslim congressmen will join Muslim League or CPM. With that it will be BJP vs CPM in the state. The anti communist Christian vote will go to BJP. CPM will be Kerala based regional party as it will lose its national status with this election. A BJP friend revealed this strategy to me. We were both drunk while we were discussing this but I think this is a serious game plan.

Nice & meaningful discussion. But Manisha dear, we mallus don't care about Yogi and his ilk. We had been living harmoniously for centuries and it's not easy to break our unity. We adore Nehru, Netaji & Sardar Patel & above all Gandhiji. We hate people who insult them & mind you even section of Modi fans don't like comments against our freedom fighters. The new generation lady is quite intelligent and understand the politics of the state. She looks like a future star in journalism. I did enjoy this discussion. Binu is right in saying that there is a growing communal divide due to WhatsApp propaganda by mainly RSS. My collegemate & a dear buddy is not in good terms and stopped being in touch with me just because I keep sharing videos critical of Modi and BJP. FYI I am a 78 year old liberal Muslim, who grew up in a very harmonious Kerala, respects all religious beliefs and believes that religion is individual specific. Hates any organisation who spreads hatred and try to divide people on religious grounds. Keep doing the good work. I sincerely hope my favourite Sreenivasan Jain joins Newsminute. We Keralites know who we are & don't care for all those hatemongers like Yogi. Waiting to listen to Sreenivasan's new episodes. Thanks.
