BJP's Patient Rise: From Kerala Breakthrough to Bihar Dominance, A Long Political Journey

• BJP achieved a historic victory in Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation, ending LDF's 40-year rule, signaling a major breakthrough in South India.
• This Kerala success mirrors BJP's long, patient journey in Bihar, overcoming caste-based politics to become the number one party.
• The Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJP's predecessor) struggled initially in Bihar, securing its first assembly seats in 1962 after focusing on local issues.
• BJP grew through alliances, anti-Congress waves, and national movements like the Ram Temple, steadily increasing its seat share in Bihar assemblies and Lok Sabha.
• The appointment of Bihar leader Nitin Nabin as National Working President highlights the party's strategic growth and national narrative building.

Why It Matters: BJP's long-term strategy and patient organizational growth led to its current political dominance in key states.
