BJP Identifies 300 'Sure Win' Wards

The New Indian Express Thrissur

July 15, 2025

The BJP has so far identified 250 to 300 wards across southern Kerala—spanning districts from Thrissur to Thiruvananthapuram—where the party is confident of victory in the upcoming local body elections.

- JOSE K JOSEPH @T'Puram

Sources said preparations are in full swing to meet the ambitious target of winning over 21,000 wards across the state.

According to senior leaders, the local body elections hold critical importance for the BJP's broader political roadmap in Kerala. "Our central leadership, including key strategist Amit Shah, sees this election as a litmus test. If we manage to secure 30% of the votes in various local body segments that fall within an assembly constituency, it significantly boosts our chances of winning that assembly seat," a BJP leader told TNIE, underscoring the strategic value of local body polls in laying the groundwork for a stronger showing in the state assembly elections.
