Kerala, often considered a political puzzle for the BJP, has proven to be a challenging battleground. Despite initially expanding its influence in the literate and politically dynamic state, the saffron party faced setbacks, notably losing its lone seat in the previous assembly elections.
This defeat, despite substantial funding, manpower, and support from the central leadership, dealt a significant blow to the BJP’s ambitions in the region.
In a surprising twist, popular film actor Devan has now stepped into the political spotlight, assuming the role of Kerala vice president for the BJP.
Orchestrated by party state president K Surendran, this announcement adds a cinematic flair to the political landscape, setting the stage for the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
Devan, once the driving force behind the Kerala People’s Party in 2004, seamlessly aligned his political narrative with the BJP in 2021.
Expressing genuine admiration for the saffron party’s principles, he emphasized that this move was not merely a pre-election spectacle.
Renowned for his roles in films like “Baashha,” “Pelli Chesukundam,” and “Saaho,” Devan brings both star power and political experience to the forefront of the BJP’s Kerala chapter.
As the political drama unfolds, the question lingers: can Devan contribute to reshaping the party’s narrative to potentially enhance the BJP’s standing in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections?
