"NDA is confident of winning Kattakkada with a record majority": BJP leader PK Krishnadas

BJP candidate PK Krishnadas claims voters seek change, predicts NDA's record win in Kattakkada to spark political shift in Kerala assembly elections.

"The NDA is confident of winning Kattakkada with a record majority, and from Kattakkada, a political change in Kerala will begin. - PK Krishnadas"

Thiruvananthapuram, March 21

Bharatiya Janata Party candidate PK Krishnadas expressed strong confidence in the party's prospects in the upcoming Kerala Assembly elections, asserting that voters are seeking a decisive political shift in the state.

"There is no doubt that both the LDF and the UDF will face serious pressure this time. The people have clearly understood both the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Indian National Congress, and they feel that voting for either of them no longer makes a difference. People are looking for a change now," he said.

Outlining his vision for the constituency, Krishnadas added, "Our vision is to build a developed Kattakkada. The people there will vote in our favour. The NDA is confident of winning Kattakkada with a record majority, and from Kattakkada, a political change in Kerala will begin."

PK Krishnadas filed his nomination from the Kattakkada constituency in the presence of Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma.

On Thursday, the BJP released the second list of 39 candidates for the upcoming assembly elections in Kerala, fielding K Ranjith against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for the Dharmadam constituency.

Former Mizoram Governor Kummanam Rajasekharan has been fielded from Aranmula. BJP has fielded Ashwini ML from Kasaragod, PR Sivasankar from Ernakulam, Vathsala Prasanna Kumar from Paravur, and Renu Suresh from Kongad.

On March 16, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) released the first list of candidates for the upcoming General Elections to the Legislative Assembly of Keralam.

The party has fielded BJP Keralam President Rajeev Chandrasekhar from Nemom seat and former Union Minister of State for External Affairs of India, V Muraleedharan, from Kazhakoottam seat.

The 2026 Kerala Legislative Assembly elections will be held in a single phase on April 9, the Election Commission of India announced today, with the counting of votes scheduled to take place on May 4.

The main electoral contest in the State is expected between the Left Democratic Front (LDF), led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist), and the United Democratic Front (UDF), led by the Indian National Congress. The National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, is also in the fray for the Assembly polls.

"Record majority" sounds like political hype. The BJP's presence is growing, but Kerala's political landscape is complex. Let's see if their local development promises resonate more than their national narrative.

As a young voter from Thiruvananthapuram, I'm tired of the same old choices. The BJP is fielding some good candidates like Rajeev Chandrasekhar. A third force is needed to break the stagnation.

Change is needed, but is the BJP the right agent for it in Kerala? Their policies often don't align with our social fabric. I hope development, not divisiveness, is the real agenda here.

Interesting to watch. Kerala has unique politics. Fielding a candidate against CM Vijayan directly shows they're serious. The April 9th election will be one to watch closely.

The confidence is good, but winning a "record majority" in a traditional LDF/UDF stronghold is a very tall claim. Voters here are informed and skeptical. They need concrete local plans, not just slogans.
