BJP National President’s Kerala Pravas
BJP National President and Union Minister Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda addressed BJP State office Bearers in Kollam, Kerala on 27 September 2025. During his address, Shri Nadda highlighted the BJP’s development initiatives in Kerala and across India, emphasizing the transformative governance under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, including reforms like next-generation GST, social welfare schemes, and infrastructure projects. He criticized the state government for corruption and non-performance while praising BJP’s ideological consistency and mass-based approach. During the event, Kerala BJP State President Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Kerala BJP In-charge Shri Prakash Javadekar, other leaders and the executive committee were present.
Parties have lost their balance
The BJP National President said that under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s leadership, the Government of India has become a responsive, responsible, and accountable government; a government of “report cards.” This new political culture of accountability and performance emerged only after 2014, replacing the earlier politics dominated by appeasement, caste, division, and vote-bank strategies. Parties have lost their balance. There is a trend today that all political parties are shrinking into regional ones, while regional parties are increasingly turning into family-parties.
Shri Nadda spoke about the Modi government’s reform-oriented vision, noting that several new initiatives have been launched recently. He cited the implementation of the next-generation GST on September 22, the first day of Navratri as a significant step toward simplifying India’s tax system, contrasting it with the complex and fragmented taxation framework that existed before 2017. He said India has made significant progress over the past 11 years.
Development initiatives in Kerala
Shri Nadda stated that in addition to the development initiatives in Kerala, significant work has been undertaken in the social sector, including the establishment of super-specialty blocks and medical colleges. Questions from the media regarding the All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) were noted, with assurance that these institutions will be established at the right time and in the right locations. The role of the LDF and UDF governments in Kerala was criticized, and the previous 10 years of Congress-led governance at the national level were described as a period characterized by policy paralysis, non-performance, appeasement, lack of development, corruption, and administrative inefficiency. The LDF government has similarly mismanaged Kerala’s resources over the past decade, resulting in no development and widespread corruption, with senior leaders involved in wrongdoing. Legal action will be taken, and it was assured that none will go unpunished. Unemployment among youth under 30 years of age stands at 29%, representing the highest rate in the state. Economic distress was attributed to poor administration, and the government was criticized for compromising on matters of national security. The present government failed to appropriately acknowledge the successful action carried out during Operation Sindoor by the Indian Forces. The current government in Kerala is characterized by corruption and non-performance, which has hindered the state’s overall growth and governance.
Kerala government creating hurdles in state’s development
Shri Nadda said the current government in Kerala has been attempting to create hurdles in the state’s development. It was emphasized that whatever progress has been achieved has been due to the initiatives taken by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and the Government of India.
He expressed his happiness that, under the leadership of Shri Rajiv Chandrasekhar, the BJP in Kerala has resolved to work towards a Viksit Keralam. He stressed that development is the only way forward, and reiterated the party’s commitment to Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas, emphasizing that these principles are implemented in both letter and spirit.
Shri Nadda urged party workers to prepare diligently for the upcoming municipal elections, which he described as a precursor to the Vidhan Sabha elections. Recalling his role as in-charge of Kerala in 2016, he expressed confidence that the state will deliver strong results this time, ensuring the party comes in power. Shri Nadda extended his best wishes for the success of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Kerala, noting that this success would translate into the development of the state and the betterment of the common people of Kerala.
