Nitin Nabin, the national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), expressed strong confidence in the party's performance in the upcoming Kerala elections during an interview with News18. He criticized the long-standing political collaboration between the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the United Democratic Front (UDF), claiming it has hindered voter interests. Nabin emphasized that the people of Kerala are ready for a change and view the BJP as a genuine alternative. The BJP's manifesto, titled 'Viksit Keralam' (Developed Kerala), outlines a ten-year plan to transform the state into an economic powerhouse, including promises for an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), a high-speed rail network, and welfare initiatives for women and low-income families. Nabin highlighted the party's growth in Kerala, noting an increase in vote share from 2% to 20% under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. He anticipates a positive public response during the elections, scheduled for April 9, 2026, with results to be declared on May 4, 2026.
