Thiruvananthapuram: Pulling on its own in Kerala's bipolar polity
dominated by the LDF and the UDF, the BJP is in touch with some of the
Dalit and Backward Class outfits to boost its electoral prospects in
the state.
"We are holding talks with some of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled
Tribes organisations. We will be supporting their candidates in some
of the assembly segments", BJP state president V Muraleedharan told a
meet-the-press here.
Similarly, the party was also holding talks with some organisations
representing backward class communities like 'Dheevara Sabha", he
said.
Asked why the BJP is shying away from seeking support of bigger
community outfits like SNDP Yogam and NSS, he said these organisations
had made it clear that they would be keeping equal distance from all
political alliances.
He, however, said that the BJP had excellent relationship with both
SNDP and NSS.
The BJP, which as so far not won any assembly seat in Kerala, is
highly confident of opening its account this time, he said.
"We will be projecting ourselves as the real Opposition in the state,
which is ruled by the LDF and the UDF alternately. The two coalitions
are responsible for all the stunted growth of the state. The presence
of the BJP in the assembly as a corrective force is inevitable", he
said.
Apart from development issues and failure of the two main fronts,
other main issues to be raised by the party during the campaign would
be terrorism, problems of internal security and law order collapse, he
said.
