Ahead of Lok Sabha elections, BJP plans massive outreach to Muslims, Christians in bid to make inroads into Kerala: Reports

The BJP is planning a massive outreach programme to woo Muslim and Christian voters in Kerala—who together make up 46 percent of the coastal state’s population—to make inroads into the traditional Congress and Left bastion in next year’s Lok Sabha elections, according to a report.
Quoting sources, an NDTV report said that the saffron party has planned a huge outreach programme which involves BJP workers visiting the home of Christians and Muslims—the two key non-Hindu communities in Kerala—on the occasion of their respective festivals.
The report said that 10,000 BJP workers will visit the homes of 1 lakh Christians on April 9 which marks Easter Sunday, continuing the trend from last December, when thousands of BJP workers visited the homes of Christians during Christmas week.
The saffron party workers will also visit the Muslim homes on Eid in mid-April and Christians will be invited to the homes of BJP workers on Vishu festival which falls on April 15.
Christians will be invited to the homes of right-wing activists on the festival of Vishu on April 15.
Kerala BJP has hailed the initiative as being highly popular was lauded by the people and claimed that its being monitored by the ruling Left and the Congress.
The report, quoting sources said that BJP is also planning a “Thank Modi” programme, which will involve testimonies from beneficiaries of various Central projects in the state. Over 12,000 people have already sent in “Thanks Modi” videos in Malayalam.
During BJP’s national executive meet in Hyderabad, Minister Narendra Modi, had asked the party cadre to organise a “sneha samvaad” (message of affection) to the minorities in Kerala prompting the right-wing party to step up its efforts after it failed to make much impact with its outreach campaign in Kerala ahead of the 2019 polls.
The BJP which rules at the Centre, returned a naught in the 2019 election despite leading a vociferous protest on the Sabarimala issue. In 2019, the Congress bagged 15 out of the state’s 20 Lok Sabha seats while its allies won four.
The election outcome was viewed as Keralites rejecting BJP’s hardline Hindutva stance and its growth has been stunted in the state since, not less in part due to frequent communal clashes between the party’s hardcore right-wing supporters and Left wing sympathizers.
However, after being bolstered by completing a trifecta of wins in three northeastern states, the BJP is looking make inroads into a traditionally anti-right stronghold with high hopes of even forming a coalition government in the states where Assembly polls are due in 2026.

Ramesh Bidhuri remarks row: BSP MP Danish Ali writes to PM Modi, calls for suitable punishment
Danish Ali asked PM Modi to make a public statement from his office condemning Bidhuri’s behaviour and reaffirming commitment towards maintaining the highest standards of parliamentary proceedings.

BSP MP Danish Ali who was targeted with derogatory remarks by BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri in Lok Sabha, wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday seeking suitable punishment for Bidhuri. In the letter, the BSP MP also demanded enhanced security for himself.
He mentioned that the recent incident in the Lok Sabha during the special session of the Parliament was not just an attack on him as an individual but an attack on the very essence of democracy. Expressing grave concern over the incident, Danish Ali called on the Prime Minister as the Leader of the House and asked him to take note of the incident.
The BSP leader underlined that the situation has significantly worsened in the Parliament since September 21 and that it has cast a shadow over the parliamentary decorum and democratic functioning of the esteemed House of which he is privileged to be a member.
Acknowledging that PM Narendra Modi was not present during the incident, BSP MP claimed that Bidhuri used inappropriate language while referring to the Prime Minister during his address. He mentioned that he raised an objection to the use of such language in relation to the Prime Minister even if it was in a quotation.
Danish Ali further added that it was evident from the House proceedings that none of the members of the ruling party objected to his stance against the use of unparliamentary language directed to the Prime Minister. He elaborated that when he pointed out to Bidhuri’s use of unparliamentary language towards the Prime Minister, the BJP MP got rattled and reacted strongly, possibly realising his mistake.
In the letter, Ali also mentioned some of the objectionable and derogatory words that Bidhuri has used against him. In addition, Ali also said that members like BJP MP Nishikant Dubey have gone as far as to disseminate absolute falsehoods against him by claiming that he made certain remarks which provoked Bidhuri when it is clear that those remarks were made by the BJP lawmaker himself during his address.
BSP MP Danish Ali also made a series of demands to PM Modi through his letter. He asked the Prime Minister to make a public statement from his office condemning such behaviour and reaffirming the commitment towards maintaining the highest standards of parliamentary proceedings. Furthermore, he also demanded accountability to be fixed at the earliest on the reprehensible conduct of Bidhuri and called for suitable punishment.
