Lok Sabha polls: Will BJP alliance make inroads at the cost of AIADMK in southern Tamil Nadu?

Quick Glance: Can the BJP Make Inroads in the Southern Indian States of Tamil Nadu and Kerala?

The BJP may increase its vote share in these states, but votes may not translate into seats in parliament.

The BJP has had a poor electoral track record in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Despite aggressively wooing Tamil voters, polls suggest that the party may not win seats in the parliaments of these states.

In Tamil Nadu, the BJP is focusing on promoting Modi and a Tamil leader to attract young voters. In Kerala, the party is trying to court the support of the Christian community and showcase Modi's development strategy.

Despite intense campaigning in both states, it is expected that the DMK-Congress alliance will sweep all 39 seats in Tamil Nadu and the Congress-led UDF will secure 17 out of 20 seats in Kerala. The BJP may only see an increase in its vote share without winning any seats.
