Kochi: BJP-led NDA will come to power in Kerala in 2026, Union Home Minister said at Thiruvananthapuram today.
Kerala must bring in a BJP-NDA government,” he said on the sidelines of inauguration of BJP Kerala headquarters building Mararji Bhavan.
“I have come to tell the voters of Kerala that the 2026 election will be fought to form a BJP-NDA government under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. Many dedicated karyakartas in Kerala have made great sacrifices. They all shared one dream — to see a BJP-NDA government in Kerala. Now, the time has come to fulfil that dream,” he added, the organiser reported.
Shah urged the people to vote for BJP led NDA in the 2026 Assembly elections, saying that the ruling Left and the Opposition Congress have failed to bring “real change”.
“Today, I have come to tell the people of Kerala — Whenever you were unhappy with the UPA, you voted for the LDF.
And when you were dissatisfied with the LDF, you turned to the UPA. But neither of them could bring real change. Now the time has come — If you truly want transformation.
Shah planted a sapling in front of the building.
Shah, who arrived in Kerala late Friday night, paid floral tributes to a bronze half-bust of late BJP state president K G Marar.
Shah was flanked by BJP president Rajeev Chandrasekhar and other senior leaders of the party’s state unit.
Shah attended the ‘Viksit Keralam Sammelan’ meeting of BJP’s ward-level leaders at Putharikandam Maithanam.
“Today, I bow to the noble soul of Sri Adi Shankaracharya,” Shah said, adding that the path to a Viksit Bharat goes through a Viksit Kerala.
“Without the development of the powerful southern states, a developed India is not possible. A Viksit Kerala has now become the mission of the Bharatiya Janata Party,” he said.
Shah noted that the Viksit Keralam envisioned by the party is rooted in three core principles of Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Corruption-free governance; No discrimination in access to government schemes; Rising above vote bank politics to focus solely on Kerala’s development.
