Former Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar, who has taken charge of the BJP’s Kerala unit, asserted that only the BJP-led NDA can initiate transformative changes in the state. In an interview with a Malayalam news channel following his appointment as the BJP Kerala president, Chandrasekhar emphasized that the NDA’s rise to power is crucial for fostering progress and development in Kerala. He stated that his mission is to secure the NDA’s leadership in the region.

He expressed his commitment to improving the lives of the people in Kerala, similar to the impact Prime Minister Modi has made across the country.

The BJP Kerala chief noted his willingness to take risks, having previously contested in the Thiruvananthapuram constituency for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections without hesitation. He criticized both the CPI(M)-led LDF and the Congress-led UDF as corrupt, accusing them of adopting a borrow-and-spend approach and being anti-investment. “We envision a Kerala with jobs and investments, not one characterized by a nokku coolie culture,” he stated.

Chandrasekhar pointed out the specific criteria required to access Central funds, explaining that the government does not simply print money in Delhi. He accused the Kerala government of failing to meet these criteria and deflecting blame onto the Centre for its shortcomings.

Regarding the BJP’s operations in the state, he assured that there would be no factions within the party bearing his name. “Leaders must unite with a singular objective. Experienced figures like MT Ramesh and Shobha Surendran will be entrusted with significant responsibilities. The BJP is poised to emerge as a formidable force in Kerala,” concluded Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
