CPI State secretary Binoy Viswam on Wednesday (May 6, 2026) said that the BJP winning three seats in the Kerala Assembly polls needs to be viewed seriously by all secular parties as it poses a "danger" to the politics in the State.

Mr. Viswam, speaking to reporters in the State caapital, said that BJP not only won three seats, but came second in six constituencies which was also a matter of concern.

He said that it shows that when extreme right-wing politics tightened its grip, it has made a big impact, not just in Kerala but across the country. It needs to be studied in detail by all Left and secular forces in the country to deal with it.

Mr. Viswam said that the party also needs to study what led to the defeat of the LDF.

He said that there was a substantial leak of votes from the Left front to the UDF which was not accounted for by any of the LDF parties and the reasons for it have to be examined.

For that meetings will be held at the district and State level and where required, necessary changes would be made, the CPI State secretary said.

"We will seriously study what the shortcomings were and where we failed, and then the requisite changes and corrections will be made," he said, adding that the results of all the 140 seats would be examined.

He further said that the CPI and the LDF “will not leave the State politics because of a defeat as they can only move forward by working for the people.”

The UDF won 102 seats, the LDF got 35 and the BJP netted 3 seats in the April 9 assembly polls held in Kerala.
