“The BJP will soon win Thiruvananthapuram…”; silent fear at CPM district secretariat meeting – KERALA – POLITICS

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The CPM district secretariat meeting held on Friday deliberated on the rise of the BJP in Kerala and insisted that the government should learn from its mistakes.

Takeaways from the meeting:

• Social pension arrears affected elections.
• The high level of criticism against the SFI leadership in connection with the death of Siddharth, a student of Pookode Veterinary College, has also backfired.
• The news of LDF president PE Jayarajan’s meeting with BJP leader Prakash Javadekar on polling day has embarrassed the party.

Leaders said the party needed to change course to win the upcoming local elections. More than the embarrassing defeat in two constituencies in Thiruvananthapuram, the CPM meeting foreshadowed a BJP takeover in Thiruvananthapuram in the years to come.

CPM Meeting:

“For the third time, the LDF has been relegated to the third position in Thiruvananthapuram. Rajeev Chandrasekhar was selected as a candidate only a month before the elections, but the vote obtained by the BJP is nevertheless shocking.

Had Shashi Tharoor not been a Congress candidate, the result would have gone in favor of the BJP. Many people received personal benefits from the central government, including CPM families. The meeting also discussed the erosion of votes from the core voting base. Internal conflicts within the party have also added to concerns.

The election review report submitted by the secretary asked everyone to seriously consider the increase in votes achieved by the BJP in Thiruvananthapuram district.

“The BJP was not far behind in the votes, even against a strong opponent like V Joy in Attingal. It is a warning and if it is not given due seriousness, the day will not be far when the saffron party takes control of the capital. »

The district Party committee meeting will be held on Sunday.
