BJP candidate’s Guruvayur speech: Shifting elections to religion

A BJP candidate’s speech in Kerala’s Guruvayur has sparked controversy after he asked why the constituency does not have a Hindu MLA and invoked the temple deity in his campaign. Kerala BJP vice president and Guruvayur candidate B Gopalakrishnan framed the election around religious identity, raising concerns about whether such appeals violate India’s Model Code of Conduct. Critics argue that elections are meant to focus on governance and policy — not religious representation. They also point out that constituencies across India, from Ajmer to Velankanni, have long elected representatives from different faiths without controversy. In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna breaks down what was said, why it may violate election rules, and how religion is being brought into campaign politics.
