BJP can only do so much -- the Hindus too need to open their eyes rather than behave like cussed mules who cannot be made to see reason
Blaming the Hindus alone is not enough (at least in KL context). The BJP KL unit did not have any thing to offer to the people of Kerala. KL may have lots of drawbacks and unique aspects, but then KL BJP needs to strategise based on that. We must understand that KL has a large number of RSS workers and
shakhas. That is one movement which the commies have not been able to put a stop to. But even in the RSS rank & file there is rampant dislike to the "political class" i.e the BJP.
There is much more work which BJP can do in KL. But that requires grooming of a totally new leadership. The fact is that even in Sabari Mala issue the senior leadership of BJP have done NOTHING to stop the commies in their tracks. The man power (which led to the protests) came from the RSS and the common Hindus who were religious and apolitical. The BJP leadership first supported the verdict, then back tracked and then made a big promise of fixing things if they win the Lok Sabha elections. Now that LS 2019 is over, the state level BJP is not showing any interest in trying to resolve the problem and basically asking the Hindus to wait for the review petitions. This plus some other earlier statements of BJP state level leadership send out the signal that for BJP Sabari Mala temple issue is more of a vote garner scheme than any defense of Hindu faith.
To summarise; Kerala BJP cannot have a plan which is keeping Hindus in pressure using their temples & faith hoping that they would be forced to vote for the BJP (and its mediocre leadership). I don't think BJP has tried such a defeatist strategy any where in India.

So alls well that ends well. From afternoon itself some of the main stream media which I followed had taken down their earlier breaking news that Congress would form the govt in Haryana.
