Core Hindutva, OBCs now BJP's focus in Kerala; sees long-term hope after winning 3 seats in House of 140

The BJP is focusing on consolidating support among backward communities within the Hindu fold in Kerala. The party has won three seats in the Kerala assembly and has planned a 13-point political agenda to shape its strategy in the state. The agenda places a focus on Hindutva and moving away from attempts to build bridges with the Church. Kerala is a diverse state with a significant minority presence, making it a tougher terrain for the BJP. The party is also shifting its approach towards minority communities, particularly Christians.
