The bharatiya janata party (BJP) has achieved a historic breakthrough by winning the thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation in the kerala local body elections.

This victory marks the end of a 40-year-long Left Democratic Front (LDF) dominance in the state capital.

The result is being viewed as a political earthquake in kerala, especially ahead of the upcoming kerala Assembly elections.

For the first time, the saffron flag has been hoisted in a civic body long considered an impregnable Left bastion.

PM narendra modi Welcomes the Historic Mandate

Prime minister narendra modi congratulated the bjp and nda candidates for their landmark win.

Taking to the social media platform X on Saturday (December 13, 2025), PM Modi thanked the people of kerala for their support.

He stated that the people of the state are now disillusioned with both the UDF and LDF.

According to the prime minister, the NDA is now seen as the only credible alternative capable of delivering good governance and development.

‘Thank You, Thiruvananthapuram!’ – PM Modi’s Message

In a separate post, PM Modi called the result a turning point in Kerala’s political history.

He said the mandate reflects the people’s faith in the BJP-NDA’s vision for development.

The prime minister assured that the party would work tirelessly to improve the ease of living and transform thiruvananthapuram into a model city.

Special Praise for BJP’s Grassroots Workers

PM Modi extended heartfelt congratulations to bjp workers, calling them the backbone of the party.

He highlighted decades of grassroots struggle and dedication by party cadres in Kerala.

The prime minister said this victory belongs to the workers who never gave up despite tough political conditions.

Major Setback for the Left and Congress

The BJP’s win is being seen as a serious blow to the LDF, which ruled the city for over four decades.

It also dents the Congress-led UDF, which has held the thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha seat for four consecutive terms.

Among Kerala’s five municipal corporations:

UDF won four,

LDF won one,

NDA won one (Thiruvananthapuram).

In municipal councils, UDF won 54, LDF 28, and nda one.

District panchayats were evenly split, with LDF and UDF winning seven each.
