Will add voters extensively to win elections, says Kerala BJP vice-president B. Gopalakrishnan

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Kerala vice-president B. Gopalakrishnan said on Friday (August 22, 2025) that his party will add voters extensively to the electoral roll to win elections.

“There is no doubt about it. We will add voters to win elections,” he told mediapersons when asked about the allegations that the BJP had added voters illegally to win the Thrissur Lok Sabha election in 2024.

He said the party would “bring people from even Jammu and Kashmir” to emerge victorious in constituencies in which it had an advantage. “We will include them in the electoral roll after making them stay in the constituency for one year. We will do it tomorrow also,” he said.

Mr. Gopalakrishnan rejected the allegations that the BJP had added voters by giving fake addresses in Thrissur. “There may be one or two cases where allegations were raised that the owner was unaware of how outsiders were included in their address,” he said.
