Even though the Kerala Assembly elections are a few months away, the Nemom constituency in the state capital is gearing up for an intense battle. State BJP President Rajeev Chandrasekhar’s decision to contest from Nemom has stirred political dynamics. In 2016, BJP’s victory in Nemom marked a significant milestone in Kerala’s political landscape.
The upcoming election is crucial as Nemom holds symbolic and strategic importance. The BJP’s win in 2016 was historic, breaking the party’s previous record in Kerala. The recent declaration by Chandrasekhar has shifted the electoral dynamics, particularly impacting the CPI(M).
The CPI(M) faces a challenge with Sivankutty urging Leader of Opposition V.D. Satheesan to contest from Nemom. Sivankutty’s move is strategic, considering electoral data that favors the CPI(M) and BJP over the Congress in recent years. The BJP’s strong presence in Nemom has set the stage for a fiercely competitive political showdown.
