Greetings to all listeners and readers!! Kerala Politics is undergoing a big churning with just ten months to go for the Kerala Assembly Elections 2026. Currently, the results of the Nilambur Elections have changed the dynamics of Politics in the state. Largely, the politics in Kerala has been centred around the UDF-LDF duopoly, but the rise of the BJP through Christian outreach, and the winning of Suresh Gopi MP in Thrissur.

Later it turned out to be the worst day the Congress party could have ever dreamt of. From winning one more state, it lost its sure-shot bet which is Chhatisgarh.
