With Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national leaders descending on election-bound Tamil Nadu and Kerala this weekend, the election fervor in the two southern states is likely to peak. The party has asked the state unit to sink its internal differences and make use of opportunities and bag the maximum seats. During the last parliamentary election in 2019, the Congress won 15 of the 20 seats in Kerala, the party’s best performance in any state. But Congress leaders have now asked him to go all-out against their arch-rivals in the state. It will also help end the factional feud in the state unit,” said senior journalist and political commentator John Mary.
