Amit shah says BJP will form government in kerala after 2026 election and urges workers to win local body polls
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Union Home Minister
Amit Shah
said here on Saturday that the presence of the
BJP
has significantly improved in
Kerala
and that the party would form the govt in the state after the 2026 assembly election.
Shah urged party workers to work hard so that the NDA wins over 20,000 seats in the upcoming local body elections by improving the vote share to 25 percent.
Addressing party workers at the ward-level leadership meet at Putharikandam Maidan, Shah stated that the BJP has established its presence in all booths in Kerala. "All should work hard to win 21,000 seats and 25 percent votes in the local body election.
If people in Kerala want development, they have only one choice, that is the BJP.
People should stop the earlier practice of voting against the LDF and UDF in turns," Shah said. He said the vote share of BJP was 11 percent in 2014 and it increased to 16 per cent in 2019 and it touched 20 percent in 2024 Lok Sabha election.
Amit Shah mentioned that both the LDF and UDF had their own share of corruption whenever they came to power. However, the NDA govt led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi faced no corruption charges.

Shah said the gold smuggling was the biggest corruption sponsored by any state govt in the country.
"A developed India is not possible unless South Indian states develop. Also. the developement of Kerala is not possible without BJP," Shah said, adding that the BJP would wrest power in
Tamil Nadu
in the upcoming assembly election.
Amit Shah asserted that the BJP was not a North Indian party as claimed by political opponents. The BJP has won and formed the govt in Assam.
The BJP has wrested power from the CPM in Tripura. It also came to power in Odisha. "Opponents always used to dismiss the BJP's efforts to form the govt in these states. But the BJP proved them wrong. After the 2026 assembly election, the BJP-led NDA would form the govt in Kerala too," Amit Shah said.
Amit Shah, who accused the LDF and UDF of practicing communal and appeasement politics, said the CPM-led LDF govt in Kerala did nothing to stop the emergence of the PFI as an anti national force.
"It was the Narendra Modi govt that banned the PFI when it started spreading its presence in other states, posing threat to the country. This PFI is still alive in Kerala in different forms. The CPM should clarify what action the LDF govt has taken against this communal terror group," he said.
Shah stated that the BJP considers the welfare of the country above the welfare of its own cadres, but for the CPM, the focus was always on the welfare of their own cadres.
Shah said Kerala was reduced to a hub of corruption, appeasement, violence, and anti-national activities under the successive rule of the LDF and UDF.
Narendra Modi declared adherence to three principles: corruption-free governance, non-discriminatory governance, and the end of vote-bank politics. Kerala too can move ahead on the path of development only by adhering to the principles to which Modi and his govt adhere, Shah said. He inaugurated the leadership meet after inaugurating the new BJP state office.

Delhi Confidential: Image change
The revamped Kerala BJP leadership announced by state unit chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar reflects the party's attempt at an image change ahead of the local body elections this year and Assembly polls next year. For instance, it has a Muslim vice-president in the state for the first time. And with the BJP eyeing Christian votes, Chandrashekhar has included three from the community in his team: a general secretary, a vice president and a secretary. Of the total 24 office bearers, seven belong to OBC communities, three are from Scheduled Castes and one is from a Scheduled Tribe. With the national leadership urging Chandrasekhar to infuse fresh energy, he has also appointed seven youngsters and one four women. Uniform Rule Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora has asked his officers to be in uniform whenever they speak to reporters. The directive came after he found several officers addressing the media in civilian clothing. He said police credibility is significantly enhanced when they are seen in uniform.

Didi to lead July 16 rally against B'deshi tag on Bengalis
1 2 3 Kolkata: CM Mamata Banerjee will lead a protest against the tagging of Bengali-speaking migrant workers Bangladeshis, their illegal detentions and occasional deportations to Bangladesh by BJP-governed states, Trinamool said on Sunday. The rally will take place on July 16 at 1pm and go from College Square to Dorina Crossing. Protests will be held across Bengal between 2pm and 4pm as well as in Delhi. Trinamool, in a statement, has urged all Bengalis to join the protest to stand up for Bengal's pride. Speaking to reporters at Trinamool Bhawan, state finance minister Chandrima Bhattacharya said, "Wherever you go, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi — all BJP-governed — if you dare to speak in Bengali, you will automatically be labelled Bangladeshi."

She has also spoken to the Centre about it. This is about Bengal's pride. We will never tolerate this insult," Bhattacharya said.

Bengal man slapped with NRC notice to miss tribunal hearing?
1 2 Jalpaiguri: Fifty-year-old Cooch Behar resident Uttam Kumar Brajabashi, the member of the Rajbanshi community who received an NRC notice from an Assam foreigners tribunal, is likely to give his document submission hearing on Tuesday a miss. His lawyer, Apurba Sinha, was supposed to attend the Kamrup tribunal hearing on Brajabashi's behalf. But having been unable to contact Brajabashi over the past few days, Sinha is sceptical of attending the hearing. "Assam govt identified him as an illegal immigrant who entered India through the Assam border between 1966 and 1971 and was residing in Dinhata. Surprisingly, another document prepared by Assam govt shows Brajabashi was born in 1977. When govt itself is claiming Brajabashi is 48 years old, how can they ask for documents from between 1966 and 1971?" Sinha said. "However, I am not sure if I can represent him at the tribunal as I have not been able to contact him for the past few days," he added. Meanwhile, Assam govt on Feb 4 issued a notification stating that all Koch Rajbanshis would be treated as indigenous people of Assam. On April 11, Assam chief secretary Partha P Majumdar instructed govt pleaders in Assam to withdraw pending NRC-related cases against people belonging to the Koch Rajbanshi community.

Yes, there are Rajbanshi people. The notification by Assam govt is misleading and confusing." "We have assured Brajabashi and all other Rajbanshis that our govt and party are with them," Guha told TOI. Sources said Brajabashi may be on the dais on the July 21 martyrs' day rally in Kolkata. BJP's Cooch Behar chief Avijit Barman said, "There is no difference between Koch Rajbanshi and Rajbanshi. Since it was a Cooch Behar kingdom, indigenous people are often called Koch. They are the same. Governing party leaders know this well." He added: "They are just trying to create confusion in an effort to recover their lost ground in north Bengal, especially among the Rajbanshi population. Uttam Kumar Brajabashi has no reason to be afraid. "
