Of these, 25 seats are from Karnataka alone. That’s why the BJP is now eyeing to make maximum inroads in the 129 parliamentary seats in the southern states. The victory in the North East and the political changes in the states of South India between 2019 and 2024 are encouraging for the BJP. BJP BJP is not only eyeing Karnataka and Telangana in the South this time. Tamil Nadu is also included in the party’s plan.

There will be a signal from the assembly elections
Assembly elections are also due in Karnataka and Telangana before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Assembly elections in BJP-ruled Karnataka and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS)-ruled Telangana will be held later this year. These elections will give an indication whether the atmosphere is favorable for the BJP in the South or not. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is confident of BJP’s victory in Kerala. In Telangana, BJP has won two-three assembly by-elections in the recent past.

The BJP also performed well in the 2020 Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections. Due to this, BJP can come in a position to give competition in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

There is no BJP MP in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh
