Lotus won in Kerala for the first time, Trish Lok Sabha win Sikander of BJP
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate and actor -turned -leader Suresh Gopi has won a major victory in Kerala’s Thrissur Lok Sabha seat. For the first time in the history of the country, BJP has won a Lok Sabha seat in Kerala. Suresh Gopi won by a huge margin of 75079 votes. He got a total of 409239 votes. This time his nearest rival was VS Sunil Kumar of CPI. Sunil Kumar got 331538 votes and Muralitharan of Congress finished third with 322995 votes.
This victory is very important for the BJP. This is the first time that the party won the Lok Sabha seat in Kerala, which has been a rare state for the party so far. Thrissur is one of the seats on which the BJP was focusing on this election. Suresh Gopi lost to Thrissur in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and then 2021 state assembly elections.
This victory is also important for 65 -year -old Gopi: not only he lost the parliamentary seat in the 2019 Lok Sabha with TN Pratipan of Congress, but he also contested the 2021 Kerala Assembly elections from here, in which he had to face defeat too. . In October 2016 – A few months after joining BJP – the party nominated Gopi to the Rajya Sabha. Since then, Gopi has been one of the party’s star campaigners in Kerala and managed to attract a huge crowd due to his attractive image.
As a result, despite finishing third after the Congress -led United Democratic Front (UDF) and the Left Democratic Front in the 2019 elections, he created a stir in that election. Thrissur is one of the few seats in Kerala where the BJP was expecting a triangular contest in the state’s bipolar politics. This was because Gopi got 17.04 percent votes in 2019, which in 2014 was much higher than 11.15 percent of senior BJP leader KP Srisan, which shows that his “star” status ” Can In the 2021 assembly elections, Gopi showed the same possibilities – although he finished third, but he got 31.3 percent of the votes, while in 2016 the party got 19.46 percent of the votes.
For Gopi, victory in Lok Sabha elections has come due to his continuous vote outreach programs. The BJP was also relying on the important Christian votes of the Thrissur constituency, which is estimated to be about 24 percent of the total voters. Gopi got his first break in the Malayalam film industry as a child artist in the 1965 film Odiil Ninnu. On being young, he attracted attention by playing a small character in the 1986 film ‘TP Balagopalan M’ and eventually became one of the action stars of the Malayalam industry in the 1990s.
