In Triangular Tussle, Will Palakkad Bypoll Be BJP’s Entry Point Into Kerala?

Palakkad in Kerala has become a key battleground for the BJP, with the party eyeing its first-ever assembly seat in the upcoming bypoll. The BJP, with the backing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, has been making significant efforts in the region, where it controls the municipal corporation. The upcoming bypoll in Palakkad is expected to be a fierce triangular contest among the NDA, UDF, and LDF, with the BJP hoping to make a breakthrough in a state where it has struggled to gain electoral traction. With tensions running high and internal conflicts within the Congress and Left camps, all eyes are on Palakkad as it could be the BJP’s entry point into Kerala’s assembly politics.
