Fwict, the SNDP is not a major influencer in the Malabar region and I don't think Ezhavas are generally relied on as a vote bank as much some other groups/religions. However, Travancore is clearly getting progressively saffronized and the support for BJP has always been there with the Nair and similar castes, especially in families where they send the kids to the shakhas. If Ezhavas collectively vote BJP then yeah, they could sweep Kerala which might turn out to be disastrous especially for Malabar. I am holding on to the hope that with loyalties split between Congress, Communists and a lot of swing votes, this does not actually become a reality. Heard a couple of journalists in a train some years back, talking about how the support for BJP/RSS will keep growing each year with the kids being fed the hero worship of Modi and the so-called "nationalistic" ideologies even across religions reaching voting age. It wont be disastrous it would be better for Kerala's future. I think a future coilition called maybe the NDF(National Democratic Front) led by the BJP would emerge. Possibly an up and coming Muslim party and Kerala Congress Mani will join it with support of SNDP and NSS. Your wrong about Malabar. The Kasargod area has the densest Shaka network in Kerala. Its the only place in Kerala where BJP workers have muscle power to take on CPM Nair vote wont be enough and Ezhavas are the most numerically dominant Hindu group. Only when they come into the base will it win. Pimp Assam and Bengal are also states where demographics dont work for it yet BJP has done well there recently. So will it in Kerala. |

GSW, where do you get all this information from? have you conducted research on the ground? or did you read all this somewhere? |

May be I should try Absolut or Romanov next time. read this and it is well known Kasargod is a killing field. The BJP has come second over there repeatedly in elections. It polls over 30% votes consistently in that district. Which is higher than usual %. I am not saying they are strong all over Malabar but to say they dont exist in Malabar is wrong. The NDF part was just a prediction on my part. Achutanandan is the last hurdle to win the final frontier of Ezhavas. The BJP needs to shun prohibition, allow beef and tweek its policies a lil in Kerala and it will survive. I feel it has a chance to gain upper caste Syriac Christian votes as well (the only xtian group that doesnt proleytise so it suits their idealogie as well). |

Rajagopal won because he had a good and more moderate image. Kummanam despite the BJP going all guns blazing in the campaign lost probably because of Hindutva/Sanghi image as opposed to the more moderate Murali although that was a really tough three-way fight. Having this creepy stare on plastered across the state probably lost BJP a lot of votes in the other constituencies.  I would be stunned if BJP improve their performance in Kozhikode or Malappuram in the next election but I don't have much idea about state politics in general and elections are still a long time away. The politics of Kasargod and most of Kannur seems strange and different from rest of Kerala and while I don't think BJP will manage to win there anytime soon, they might get more votes. I'd say Trivandrum and to a lesser extent Kollam, Palakkad and Thrissur are the districts where BJP might focus on. I've not heard about this whole Achuthanandan being the person who is getting Ezhavas to vote for LDF; do you have any article explaining that, GSW? And yeah, Keralites really love beef and that includes a good number of Hindus and especially Ezhavas. |

BJP has repeatedly said and proven in the North East that it wont ban beef where its consumption is popular among the vast majority of people. Only in the cowbelt is it strongly opposed. coz it is the COWBELT.
