Shri Nadda remembered Adi Shankaracharya, highlighting that the land is known for the significant contribution Adi Shankaracharya made in advancing Sanatan Dharm across the country. Shri Nadda emphasized that Kerala has been a land of gurus and social reformers, he then paid homage to Narayan Guru, acknowledging that his blessings provided new strength to social consciousness in the region.
Dedicated Karyakartas
Shri Nadda said that Kerala is renowned for its hard work, politeness and dedication, qualities he also observes in the BJP Karyakartas. Shri Nadda praised all the Karyakartas for their dedication and efforts in upholding an ideology while working under challenging conditions. The BJP’s dedicated Karyakartas are the reason why, for the first time in 60 years, the NDA is continuously and consecutively forming the government under the dynamic leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji.
Shri Nadda extended his special congratulations to Kerala for the election results, highlighting that for the first time since independence, the people of Kerala had made the lotus bloom in the Lok Sabha. The NDA government being in power for the third consecutive time signifies stability and continuity. The NDA government is bringing stability and the people of India have voted for this stability and continuity. Shri Nadda credited BJP Karyakartas for converting the government’s achievements into votes by effectively reaching out to the public.
BJP is now an all-India party
BJP National President, Shri Nadda mentioned that recently, elections were held in Odisha where BJP formed a government solely, winning 78 out of 147 seats and securing victory in 20 out of 21 Lok Sabha seats. In Andhra Pradesh, the NDA achieved a sweeping victory. There have been certain narratives being spread that
BJP has been a party of northern India, whereas BJP is now an all-India party, evident from its success in the south where the NDA won 164 out of 175 seats in Andhra Pradesh. BJP doubled Lok Sabha seats in Telangana and in Arunachal Pradesh, BJP formed the government for the third consecutive time, winning 46 out of 60 seats. In the Lok Sabha elections, the NDA and BJP swept Karnataka and BJP’s vote share in Tamil Nadu has reached up to 11.4%. The day is not far when BJP’s position in Tamil Nadu will also improve further. In Thrissur, Kerala, BJP won by a significant margin of 75,000 votes and in Attingal and Thiruvananthapuram as well, BJP has shown improved performance. In the upcoming times, BJP will succeed not only in Kerala’s Assembly but also in Lok Sabha seats. Today, BJP has gained ground in 6 municipal corporations in Kerala as well. BJP has achieved a 36% vote share in Thiruvananthapuram.
Congress did not win a single seat in 13 states
Shri Nadda stated that BJP Karyakartas in Kerala are working with diligence, dedication and commitment despite adverse conditions. Kerala BJP Karyakartas have risked their lives to bring success to the party in the state. Congress supporters are celebrating their big victory, but if Congress adds up the number of MPs they had in the 2014, 2019 and 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP alone won more seats in 2024 than their combined total. Congress did not win a single seat in 13 states and managed to increase its seats only due to regional parties. Congress has become a parasitic party. In Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh, where there was a direct contest between BJP and Congress for 64 seats, BJP won 62 seats, while Congress could secure only 2 seats. The strike rate for Congress when contesting elections alone is 26%, whereas when Congress contests elections by being parasitic, its strike rate increases to 50%. Congress is a party that relies on crutches.
The BJP says that from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, it stands for the country and its soil. However, the Congress, in its quest for power, lowers its own flag and raises the flags of those who seek to divide the nation into pieces.
Shri Nadda stated that under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi, the BJP and NDA have worked to propel the nation forward. Whereas the INDI alliance fosters corruption, anarchy, empowers anti-national forces and obstructs national progress. Shri Nadda pointed out corruption scandals involving Kerala’s LDF government, accusing them of aiding instead of confronting such issues. Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda expressed confidence that the BJP will flourish in Kerala in 2026 and no one will stand against the BJP.
