Kerala’s Palakkad emerging as a critical battleground in By-Poll
As per report Kerala’s palakkad is emerging as a critical battleground in the state’s highly charged political landscape, with the bharatiya janata party eyeing its first-ever assembly seat in the upcoming bypoll. Even as palakkad is going to witness a fierce triangular contest among the NDA, UDF, and LDF, the constituency holds particular significance for the BJP. In fact, it has turned out to be the most heated battle in the upcoming by-elections, along with Chelakkara and the wayanad lok sabha seat, on november 13.Currently palakkad is one of only two assembly constituencies in kerala where the party won in the civic body elections and now controls the municipal corporation there. The recent RSS Samanvaya Baithak (coordination meeting), held in palakkad, further underscores the area’s importance to the Sangh’s strategy, with the high-profile meeting planned here, leveraging the cadre strength and mobilisation capabilities in the region.Moreover with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh backing its efforts, palakkad has become the focal point for the party’s ambitions in Kerala. Could this be the breakthrough moment for the bjp in a state where it has struggled to gain electoral traction? All eyes are on palakkad, as it may just become the BJP’s entry point into Kerala’s assembly politics as it did in the lok sabha polls through Thrissur. With rising internal strife in the congress camp and growing voter redata-alignments, the bypoll is likely to become a turning point in Kerala’s political landscape, with palakkad at the heart of the action.
