BJP's Local Body Gains: A False Narrative in Kerala, Says Venugopal

AICC general secretary K C Venugopal claims the BJP is misleading the public about its gains in Kerala's local body elections, highlighting its limited victories. He attributes the UDF's success to public resentment against the Pinarayi Vijayan government, emphasizing the importance of collective leadership in their triumph.

AICC general secretary K C Venugopal accused the BJP of fabricating a narrative regarding its perceived victories in the Kerala local body elections.

Speaking in New Delhi, Venugopal argued that the BJP's influence remained minimal, with only a minor increase in the number of local bodies it controls.

He credited the United Democratic Front's election success to public disapproval of the Pinarayi Vijayan government, highlighting their enhanced performance across various local bodies compared to the 2020 elections.
