Kerala 2026: Shah Predicts BJP-NDA Sweep, Aims for Congress-Free South

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday boldly predicted a BJP-NDA victory in the 2026 Kerala Assembly elections. This ambitious declaration comes amidst a concerted effort by the party to expand its footprint in the southern state.

The BJP’s strategy hinges on strengthening its presence at the grassroots level. The party aims to significantly improve its vote share, targeting a substantial 25% in upcoming local body elections.

This aggressive push reflects the BJP’s larger national objective: achieving a “Congress-free India.” Kerala, a traditional Congress stronghold, is seen as a crucial battleground in this endeavour.

Shah’s confident assertion signals a major escalation in the BJP’s campaign in Kerala. The upcoming local body polls will be a critical test of their strategy and a key indicator of their prospects in the 2026 state elections. The outcome will significantly impact the national political landscape.
