THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The BJP is trying hard to win maximum number of Lok Sabha seats from Kerala, which is a herculean task. The party will put forward the list of candidates eyeing this. Reports said the list of unexpected prominent people may be released by this month itself. The reports are that the party has reached a decision on the candidates to be fielded in the constituencies and that they have expressed their willingness to contest.

In Thrissur, where there is a high probability of victory, the BJP has gained a huge upper hand by fielding actor Suresh Gopi even before the election was announced. Prime Minister Modi reached Thrissur last week to confirm Suresh Gopi's victory. The Sthree Shakti Sangamam organized to proclaim the strength of the party was a huge success. The party is of the opinion that victory in more seats is easy if the weightage gained through the Prime Minister's visit is utilized to the maximum. Modi is coming to Kerala again soon.

Unconfirmed reports are that actor Unni Mukundan will be the BJP candidate in Pathanamthitta. Unni Mukundan, who got a career break with the movie Malikappuram, is expected to get the votes of the devotees. Unni Mukandan also openly favors the BJP. The party has already communicated with him regarding his candidature.

The names of Kummanam Rajasekaran and P C George are also heard. For the past few days, Kummanam has been working in Pathanamthitta. However, some activists said that Unni Mukundan has more chances of success than them. The party believes that victory is sure if Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is fielded in Thiruvananthapuram. Even if External Affairs Minister Jaishankar contests, it is believed that victory is sure. It is almost sure that V Muraleedharan will be the candidate in the highly expected Attingal.
