Malayali journalist Siddique Kappan had ordered PFI hit squad to eliminate BJP Delhi leaders who resisted extremists during Delhi riots, confess PFI members who are the accused in Hatras riots and are in Lucknow Jail currently.
Journalists in

candidate in Thiruvananthapuram assembly constituency G Krishnakumar has made giant strides in campaign. He is pleasant, down to earth and connects with masses easily. His performance is really better than expected and many say he is in pole positin
Kerala Police Association leader in special branch of police leaked out Governor's travel route to CPM goons to help them show black flag at governor. Arif Khan. Kerala police completely politicised. Indiscipline rampant. Law and order has gone to dogs.
Is there a silent undercurrent among Kerala Hindus in favour of BJP? I found this in Thrissur and Alappuzha where Suresh Gopi and Shobha Surendran are contesting. I found it among women mostly. My experience says it's tough for BJP, but signals from society hint a coming mystery

A Deshabhimani journalist from Kannur told me that now it has become tough to sell in Kerala narratives portraying PM

CPM Alappuzha MP AM Aariff is banking on development works implemented by

My interactions with natives of Thrissur indicate that BJP's Suresh Gopi is leading at present. Surprisingly CPI's Sunil Kumar doesn't spur confidence even in LDF. Murali lagging behind. Suresh Gopi needs to keep up the tempo. Local BJP shouldn't pull rugs from under his feet
If

This is an age old strategy to frighten Hindus and prevent them from developing a pride in their culture. One should stand their ground in the face of such cowardly attacks. Then the attackers will back off. Unfortunately many Hindus get frightened. Hope Navya stands her ground

Hostility towards business is ingrained in Malayali psyche by the Left movement. In Malayalam it's derogatory to call someone a trader (Kachavadakkaran). People consider youth a as product that could be exported to other states or nations for remittance. Society has to change
I find that a section of my friends in Kerala aligned to Congress and CPM elated and enthused over Ram Mandir consecration ceremony. Some may even light lamps at home. Are they going to vote BJP? Remains to be seen. But Kerala Hindus are getting more assertive on faith front
