Kerala BJP Faces Setback as Hindu Groups Back LDF's Ayyappa SummitSaralnama

The Kerala BJP faces a setback in its opposition to the LDF government's Global Ayyappa Sangamam. The summit will be held at Pamba on 20 Sep. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will inaugurate the event. Two major Hindu groups, NSS and SNDP Yogam, support the summit. The NSS was previously against the LDF's stance on Sabarimala women's entry. The BJP questions the government's motives and urges caution. The event marks 75 years of the Travancore Devaswom Board. It's seen as the CPI(M)'s attempt to attract Hindu voters before upcoming elections. The government agreed to keep politicians out of the organizing committee. Some view the summit as a move to mend relations after the 2018 Sabarimala controversy. (Updated 2 Sep 2025, 05:57 IST; source: link)
