In April 2023, Anil Antony, a Stanford University graduate, switched sides from Congress to BJP after facing backlash for supporting PM Modi following a BBC documentary. He predicts a strong BJP presence in Kerala’s 2024 elections, drawing on their success in Tripura. Antony dismisses allegations of discrimination in fund allocation and accuses Kerala’s LDF and UDF of spreading falsehoods about Manipur violence. He asserts that India’s minorities trust BJP and questions CM Pinarayi Vijayan’s economic achievements. He mocks Rahul Gandhi as incompetent and believes he doesn’t belong in parliament, citing past apologies in court. Antony’s move reflects Kerala’s shifting political landscape.
