Kerala’s two major Hindu outfits shift to Modi

Kochi,June 27 (TruthDive): Hindu Outfits representing two major Hindu communities in Kerala, which account for 41 per cent of the total population of Kerala State, have praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP on the formation of the NDA Government, sending shockwaves to both the ruling Congress-led UDF and the LDF opposition led by CPI(M).

The NSS (Nair Service Society) outfit of the Nairs the Hindu upper caste and Ezhavas the lower caste Hindu organization SNDP (Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana Yogam) have praised the BJP and Modi through their respective official journals. Service magazine of NSS and Yoga Nadam publication of SNDP have carried Modi’s pictures on their front covers.

The development has caused anxiety among the Congress as well as the CPI(M) which have always competed to woo the two highly influential Hindu outfits. The NSS has been claiming to adopt a policy of keeping equidistance from political parties but is known for its closeness to the Congress-led UDF.

The SNDP and its general secretary Vellappally Natesan, a liquor baron and industrialist, has been shifting between the UDF and the Left. Majority of Ezhavas are Left supporters. Nairs form 16 per cent and Ezhavas constitute 25 per cent of Kerala population.

NSS says it had expected that power would change in Delhi and in the State the UDF would get more seats and be more stable.

The editorial written by SNDP chief in the Yoga Nadam titled “Modi’s First Goal”, congratulates the Prime Minister and the NDA for bringing SAARC leaders to India and terms it as the first strike.

The SNDP journal says that Modi faced the worst kind of political attack from opponents. The SNDP had been moving nearer to the BJP during the campaign. Natesan gave an introductory speech at a grand alliance conference of Dalit in Kochi in which Narendra Modi was the chief guest.

Left has seen erosion of votes from the lower castes and the Ezhavas and pronounced shift could spell trouble. The Left had ignored wooing the traditional vote base among Hindus to get into minority vote bank, says independent assessments.

BJP vote share rose in Lok Sabha by around 4 % from 6 %. Congress which had taken Nair votes for granted will now have to be on the alert. Antony in a soul-searching said public has doubts on Congress’s secular character.

@nair will have more of an idea.

@JanjaWeed believe it or not, the Congress government in Kerala is somewhat competent, so that could hamper things for BJP.

It also depends on how the Communists bounce back. If Pinnarayi is at the helm......

and for god's sake it is time these 'caste' organisations were put ot an end.

People are getting tired of usual caste vs caste, secular vs communal kinda politics. Dynamics have changed.. & Modi's new brand of politics based on economy & development is more appealing to the masses rather than usual policies based on appeasement & subsidies.
I know.. it's not going to be easy to penetrate a Congress & Communist's bastion like Kerala.. but one can sense the change in mood. All it needs is a able administration at the center & good policies by Modi govt. Kerala, like WB is a slow mover. It has taken 30 odd years for Bengalis to move from far left to mid-left. I hope the transition from here on will pick up the pace... & current political situation in both these states will only hasten the process!

I know this is harsh, but you cannot eliminate poverty, you can only minimise it.

No relation to my post.

 

[wolfschanzze]

don't worry buddy. You can move to Kerala

It will be better than Telangana in 4 years time. Don't worry about communists, they are still better than KCR.
.

I still have some hope TG might pull through, but if it continues this way,Yeah perhaps Kerala is better atleast can buy a small island and grow my own farms there

Yes Both NSS and SNDP are the most powerful Hindu outfits of kerala..... How powerful are they???? They have number of schools and other institutions....... Their leaders Narayana Panikkar and Vellappally nadesan, both are mean and all they want power..... They can influence the government and its policies, i doubt they can influence their own supporters in voting.... Their support towards Modi is simple..... Power!!!!!! Do not read too much to it.....

SNDP was kind of supporting modi even before election, where as NSS was towards congress......

The communists no longer sounds that strong in Kerala IMO.

Actually not. Very smart guy. He filibustered the debate by talking (mostly rubbish) but doing so continuously & in a normal tone to the point where nothing got discussed. Neither Subramanium Swamy nor Mahesh Jethmalani got to make their points. Effectively he undercut the debate & prevented viewers from understanding the merits or otherwise of the case. That was the job he was sent to do & he did it. Brilliantly.






See how good he was. You are discussing him & not the case.

the guy seems to know what he is doing.

Rahul Gandhi lacks ruling temperament, Digvijaya Singh says

PANAJI: In an indictment of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's governing abilities, party general secretary Digvijaya Singh said the Gandhi scion does not have a temperament suited to the ruling benches.

In an interview to a Goa cable news channel on Friday and telecast on Saturday, Digvijaya Singh also said Rahul should have taken up the responsibility of leading the party in the Lok Sabha and taking on the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government.

"He is by temperament not a ruling person. He is by temperament someone who wants to fight injustice," the Congress leader said.

Digvijaya's statement comes at a time when Rahul as well as his mother and Congress president Sonia Gandhi have been criticized for lack of leadership skills by both Congressmen as well as party detractors.

The party general secretary who is in charge of Goa was in the state on a two-day visit to take stock of the party affairs and meet Pradesh Congress Committee members.

Digvijaya said he had suggested Rahul take up the role of the main opposition leader in the Lok Sabha, a responsibility given to Congress' Karnataka stalwart Mallikarjun Kharge.

"In a democracy, opposition space is necessary. Since the Congress is the largest opposition group, our Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi should have taken up the responsibility," he said.

@JanjaWeed @arp2041 @jha @wolfschanzze and others .... Goofup or making way for mrs vadra?

I always had an inkling about Digvijaya Singh being a secret hindu nationalist! no matter how hard you try to hide the truth.. it's bound to force itself out in the open sometime!
