| A fresh sunrise in the Kerala horizon |
The BJP-led NDA has achieved a historic breakthrough in Kerala by winning the Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation—the first time the NDA has come to power in a municipal corporation in the state.
Today’s big news is the victory in the Trivandrum Mayor election, marking a significant achievement for the BJP in Kerala! In the recent Kerala Local Body Polls, the BJP has achieved a remarkable triumph, with the NDA clinching 50 out of 101 seats in the Thiruvananthapuram municipal corporation, representing a substantial mandate for the first time in this area. The BJP has surprisingly emerged as a major contender, grabbing headlines as the NDA, under its leadership, wins 50 seats in the 101-member municipal corporation in Thiruvananthapuram, once again highlighting its unprecedented success in the region.
This victory marks the end of LDF’s dominance and signals the BJP’s long-term plans in Kerala, reshaping the political landscape of God’s Own Country (Kerala).
BJP Victory in Kerala
The BJP’s triumph in Thiruvananthapuram is not just a local body win—it is a historic BJP victory in Kerala that reflects years of grassroots effort, sacrifices of thousands of BJP/RSS workers, and a growing trust in development-oriented governance.
Christian support for BJP, Kerala politics, NDA breakthrough
- In Kerala, a significant section of the Christian community, once neutral, has now moved closer to the BJP.
- Politically conscious Hindus, who had earlier aligned with both left and right parties, are increasingly supporting the BJP.
- This shift is rooted in the perception that successive left and right governments governed by appeasing only the Muslim community, leaving others marginalised.
Christian Outreach and Munambam Victory
The BJP stood firmly with 500 Catholic fisherman families in Munambam, Ernakulam, when their land was grabbed by the Waqf Board. This solidarity has not been forgotten—Munambam, a Christian-majority village, voted unanimously for the BJP.
The BJP’s success in Christian-majority states of the Northeast and Bengal demonstrates its ability to build bridges across denominations. Kerala, with its diverse Christian communities, presents a similar opportunity for outreach and consolidation.

Leadership and Grassroots Effort
Heartfelt congratulations to Sri Rajeev Chandrasekhar for the remarkable performance and inspiring victory in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation elections. This achievement reflects:

- Tireless grassroots effort
- Growing public trust in transparent, development-oriented governance

National Context and Future Outlook
The BJP’s Kerala breakthrough adds momentum to its national expansion strategy. With Christian-majority states in the Northeast already under BJP rule, Kerala’s shift signals a broader trend.
According to The Hindu, this victory is being seen as a milestone in reshaping Kerala’s political future.
Hopefully, West Bengal will follow in the next state elections, further strengthening the BJP’s footprint across India.
Closing Note
This victory in Thiruvananthapuram is more than a local milestone—it is a symbol of Kerala’s changing political tide. The sacrifices of thousands of BJP/RSS workers, the support of Christian fishermen in Munambam, and the rallying of politically conscious Hindus all point to a new chapter in Kerala politics.
The answers lie in the evolving political consciousness of India’s diverse communities.
