Nadda privately meets Kerala Catholic archbishops; BJP-backed Christian organisation on cards

The Hindu  

Amidst reports over the Bharatiya Janata Party stepping up its efforts to woo the Catholic vote bank in Central Travancore, a closed-door meeting held between the party’s national president J.P. Nadda with two catholic Archbishops in Kottayam a couple of days ago is triggering widespread speculation in the political circles. The BJP delegation, on the other hand, also comprised the union Minister V. Muraleedharan, the party’s newly-appointed Kerala Prabhari Prakash Javadekar, BJP State president K. Surendran and its district president Lijin Lal. While both the church as well as the BJP leadership have remained tight-lipped on what transpired during the discussion, official sources attributed the development to the proposed formation of a BJP-backed Christian organisation in Kerala. Political leverage The BJP has been consistent in its attempts to leverage the key issues raised by the Catholic church in Kerala such as ‘love jihad’ and ‘narcotic jihad’ to its benefit.
