Interesting to see this outreach. A three-day packed schedule meeting top leaders and visiting Parliament & Rashtrapati Bhavan is quite an orientation program. Hope the focus on urban development with Minister Khattar translates into tangible projects for Kerala's cities.

As someone from Kerala, I welcome this. We have excellent human development indices but need massive investment in infrastructure and job creation. If the BJP can deliver on that front without disturbing social harmony, people will support them. The LDF and UDF have had their long turns.

The political commentary is getting ahead of itself. Winning 50 wards in one corporation is a good start, but claiming it will directly translate to forming the state government is a big leap. Kerala voters are very discerning and assembly elections are a different ball game altogether.

The visit to the war memorial at India Gate is a thoughtful inclusion. It instills a sense of national pride and duty. Wishing the new councillors all the best. Hope they learn from Delhi's experiences (both good and bad) in urban management and apply it back home.

Respectfully, while the win is notable, calling it a result of a 45-year fight against a single ideology oversimplifies Kerala's complex political history. Voters there have consistently voted for stability and welfare. The BJP will need to prove its administrative mettle at the local level first before dreaming of assembly elections.

We welcome thoughtful discussions from our readers. Please keep comments respectful and on-topic.
