Waqf Land: Can BJP Leverage the Issue to Win Over Christian Voters in Kerala?

The Quint  

It is to be recalled that the lone electoral victory the BJP has won in Kerala in the recent past is one of actor Suresh Gopi in the Thrissur Lok Sabha seat, where Christian vote share was much higher than other minority communities. For its efforts, the BJP had its first dividend in the bye-election of Priyanka Gandhi in Wayanad where it had grabbed the second slot following the Congress-led UDF in 171 polling booths, leaving the Communists in the third slot. In Wayanad district, the BJP came first in booths and also amassed a significant vote share in key village panchayats and Sulthan Bathery municipality. Even in traditional Congress bastions like Pulppalli village and Mullankolly village panchayat – both Christian-dominated civic bodies – the BJP finished second whereas the Communists was left behind at the third slot.
