BJP's Rajeev Chandrasekhar files nomination from Nemom with Rajasthan CM Bhajanlal Sharma. BJP aims to challenge LDF and UDF in Kerala elections.

"I will work hard 365 days a year... to make Nemom a model constituency - Rajeev Chandrasekhar"

Thiruvananthapuram, March 21

Kerala Bharatiya Janata Party President Rajeev Chandrasekhar filed his nomination as the party's candidate from Nemom constituency for the upcoming Kerala Assembly elections, with Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma present in a show of support.

Adressing to repoerters, Chandrasekhar said that he is grateful, as accompanied by Bhajanlal Sharma, during the filing of nomination, stating that he will work hard for the development of Nemom.

"I am deeply grateful to the Rajasthan CM who came here and accompanied & supported me during the filing of the nomination. I am also grateful to all the hundreds and thousands of workers who have accompanied me, people of Nemom and Thiruvananthapuram, who have accompanied me today. It fills my heart with great hope, affection and reinforces the responsibilities I am planning to take on. I can promise the people that if they give me an opportunity, I will work hard to solve all the problems, I will work hard to bring development to Nemom, and I will work hard 365 days a year, 24 hours a day to make Nemom a model constituency in Keralam," said Chandrasekhar.

The Rajasthan CM asserted that there is a lot of enthusiasm among BJP workers, and we are confident that we will achieve victory here.

"Today I have come to Kerala. I am seeing that there is enthusiasm and zeal among BJP workers... I can confidently say that a lot of new things are going to happen in Kerala. The BJP will perform very well here and achieve victory. The BJP will emerge here as a big party," said Sharma.

The BJP is positioning itself as a key challenger in Kerala, where the primary contest has traditionally been between the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF). Both alliances are aiming to retain or regain power in the state.

Earlier on Friday, Union Minister Suresh Gopi stressed the need for a stronger National Democratic Alliance (NDA) presence in the Assembly, citing what he described as administrative failures over the past decade. He called for NDA candidates to secure victories across constituencies to ensure effective representation.

Polling for the Kerala Assembly elections will be held in a single phase on April 9, with counting scheduled for May 4. The tenure of the current assembly is scheduled to end on May 23.

As someone from Thiruvananthapuram, I welcome any candidate who promises 24/7 work for development. We have seen many promises before. Action speaks louder than words. I hope if elected, he focuses on local issues like waste management and traffic, not just national politics.

Bringing a CM from Rajasthan for support feels like an outsider strategy. Kerala politics is different. BJP needs strong local faces and grassroots work, not just high-profile visits. The "model constituency" promise is good, but will the party's central leadership allow local solutions?

It's interesting to see the BJP pushing so hard in Kerala. A third front can be healthy for democracy if it keeps the other alliances on their toes. But ultimately, the candidate's work ethic matters. 365 days a year is a big promise! Hope he remembers it after elections.

Watching from abroad. Kerala's political landscape is fascinating. The entry of a strong national party figure could shift dynamics. But will development rhetoric resonate more than traditional ideological loyalties? The single-phase polling on April 9 will be crucial.

Suresh Gopi's point about needing a stronger NDA presence is valid. The state has had its share of problems. But simply calling it "administrative failure" is too simplistic. Every candidate must bring a concrete vision for healthcare, education, and jobs. Let's hear those plans.
