In less than three months, India will have elections, and the BJP is in a strong position after recent victories in several states. The south of India will be crucial for the opposition, especially with the BJP making moves in states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. In Karnataka, the return of a prominent leader to the BJP has weakened the Congress, while in Tamil Nadu, the BJP is preparing to confront the DMK on issues of corruption and dynastic politics. The BJP’s presence in Kerala and Telangana is not as strong, but it is making efforts to challenge the dominant regional parties. In Tamil Nadu, if the BJP and the AIADMK don’t reconcile, the election will be characterized by a battle between the DMK and the BJP, with the AIADMK being sidelined. The BJP’s strategy in Tamil Nadu includes targeting the DMK as anti-Hindu, while the DMK is positioning itself as the protector of Dravidian interests against the BJP’s Hindi-Hindu agenda. The AIADMK, caught between its pro-Hindu image and its ties with Muslim groups, is facing challenges from both the DMK and the BJP. The DMK is focusing on highlighting the government’s achievements and welfare programs, while the BJP is trying to gain ground in a triangular contest by attacking the DMK on corruption and other issues.
