The BJP's sterling performance in Kerala, winning the Thrissur Lok Sabha seat and increasing its vote share in many constituencies in the 2024 polls, clearly indicates a shift in the political landscape of the southern state, said noted political analysts.
Besides actor-politician Suresh Gopi winning from Thrissur, the BJP-led NDA saw its vote share rise from over 15 per cent in 2019 to nearly 20 per cent now.
Analysts indicate that Kerala's political landscape is evolving from a traditionally bipolar contest dominated by the Congress-led UDF and the CPI(M)-led LDF to a tripolar scenario.
