The Bharatiya Janata Party achieved a historic breakthrough in Kerala by winning three Assembly seats for the first time. A key victory came in Kazhakoottam, where V. Muraleedharan defeated CPI(M) leader Kadakampally Surendran, marking a significant political upset. The party also secured two additional seats previously held by the Communist Party of India (Marxist), reflecting a shift in voter dynamics within the state. This milestone signals BJP’s growing footprint in a region traditionally dominated by Left and Congress-led alliances, potentially reshaping Kerala’s long-standing political landscape. (PC: X)
