The Dark Side of Kerala Politics

Image
Kerala, a progressive, 100% literate, and highly politically conscious state, is always regarded as a model state for the rest of the country. But there are a lot of things in Kerala politics that you should understand, that it is regressive, not to be proud of, and something we should totally denounce. The ground reality is sometimes opposite to the well-glorified image of the state. Ahead of the state elections, it is important discuss them. The objective here is to expose them and realise that Kerala politics needs a lot of change and modifications.  Rivalry turns Violent Politics is inevitable without competition, contestation, and confrontation.

The rhetoric of being PM Modi's home state and Gujarat Model has been there for a decade imprinting in our minds that BJP is unbeatable in the state. In both the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP swept winning all 26 seats. BJP also has been ruling the state undefeated for 27 years.
