Union Home Minister Amit Shah will arrive in Kerala on Sunday (January 10, 2026) to lay down the road map for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA)’s poll strategy for the State’s Assembly elections.

Former BJP State President K. Surendran told The Hindu that Mr. Shah would chair the party’s core committee meeting at the BJP’s State Headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram.

“The meeting will likely be more about mustering of the party’s rank-and-file at the booth level to make the NDA’s election machinery fighting fit rather than other specifics, he said. Mr. Surendran said the meeting will also lay the groundwork for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Kerala.

Mr. Shah’s visit assumed significance against the backdrop of post-poll stocktaking in the party’s state unit, including discussions about whether the NDA had succeeded in expanding its base in Kerala.
