all 20 seats of Kerala voted today. In fact, Kerala narrative is is done and dusted now. So Prakash Jabar, senior leader of the BJP also the party is in charge for the state of Kerala. Joins us now for a chat. Thank you, Mr Javar for speaking to ND TV. Sir. You know you were in charge of Telangana first, and Telangana actually gave a lot of good results for the BJP. Now, do you expect the same thing working for the BJP in Kerala? Yes, absolutely. Kerala will also give. This is a complete change of politics in Kerala for permanent what? Ha! What used to happen that 70 years only C PM that is LDF and UDF ruled and people have seen there is late but realisation like Bangal Bangal was ruled by Congress for 30 years Uh, an AD F that is communist by 35 years. But now they have zero MLS. This day is also not far away from Kerala. And these results in Los election also will show a dramatic change. We will win seats and our overall percentage of votes will also grow up tremendously. That will be so, which was a bipolar politics will become a three po politics. It's a major change, Mr J. I just want to bring up a graphic. This is a graphic which shows five seats where the BJP got more than 20% in terms of vote share in 2019. So let's have that graphic which comes up and the constituencies are one and the last time around. The BJP at 31.3 29 th 3 28.2 Aal 24.7 pagar 21.3 now. In the past, the BJP has struggled in Kerala. But these were areas where, at least in terms of vote share, you were better off in 2019. Are these the seats that you're going to primarily be hoping results in either a better vote share or even seats winning seats out of these five and maybe also because I know this time it's a complete change. Last time it was tactical vote by Communist to sushi tho. Therefore, that happened. Now this has not happened this time, and all the I was then all cast communities are voting and you will surprise when you go into deeper analysis. Muslim voters in large number have voted for Modi. And therefore we always campaign that Modi is the candidate. And our, uh, candidate is the representative of Modi. And people used to say that uh thank you, Modi, because of beneficiaries. All used to say thank you, Modi that is in Mala, Nanni Modi and all used to say, uh, Modi has done good job. Nalla Modi that is he has done good job. So we said and our campaign was not only Manni Modi and Mala Modi. Now what? Modi and I think so what figures you are suing for last elections will now change completely. All right, let's see what happens on the fourth of June. But Prakash, I wanted to ask you another important question. I'm sure you would agree that in the first phase the voting percentage was not where you know any of us as responsible Indians would want. It was show less than last time around. This time around, it's what, 61.4% in this particular phase Again, it's a bit lower a bit down from last time around. Does this in any way affect the electoral arithmetic of the BJP as you start. Is there a link? It is the other way around in Kerala. I think final voting is still on, but now it is completing. So it will. It might go up a little bit, but just let us assume it is 60.4. No, no. I'll tell you what we get at 9 p.m. Actually, the next day 9 a.m. it changes at least 2 3%. So we will be this time. Maybe there may be drop of 2% and it is not heat. It is the other way around What you are predicting? It is actually, uh people those who can't vote B JP but are disgusted with the, uh, LDF and UDF politics. They have not come to vote. And that is clear Booth after Booth, we can show you on 4th June. We will discuss I will tell you the areas also where people, uh who will who were voting in mass for Communists or Communist, have voted less this time. Last question. And you know, this is something with regard to your minority outreach. Two things that have happened, man. Poor violence and PV very strong anti C rallies. Now these two things might impact your minority outreach. And in Kerala, minority votes are really prominent. Actually, it is. The fact is that Manipur we explained it very nicely and without, uh, bringing to the notice of the prayers we brought Manipur MLS, they had dialogues with the various congregations and we completely reached out on 31st March for this Easter Sunday we reached out to seven like family for wishing them best Easter, Happy Easter and not for words. And that has impacted a lot. And more importantly, moji banned P I and C, PM and Congress both are supporting CPF I the PFIS political, uh phase is SDP I that support the Congress Congress. He will not take support. But there was a perfect understanding of the and therefore SDP. I declared that whatever they say we are going to support. So that was a perfect understanding and therefore there is a reaction in other sections, they are saying intifada they are carrying out. Both are taking rallies for Gaza, but they don't say a word of Hamas and Hezbollah who have killed the kites in Israel. They don't condemn that they condemn only Gaza innocent deaths, everybody will condemn anywhere. But this was such a partial partiality that Christians are too upset because of that. And that will reflect in our words. OK, Mr Jabri, Wonderful speaking to you. I'm telling to Kerala you are quite the back room boy. You know, working the arithmetic, working your party's chances, working with party workers. Good luck to you, sir. Let's see what finally turns out. Thanks very much. We are always we always do. What party gives us the role and responsibility and we fulfil that? Thanks, sir.
