The Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has taken significant steps to prepare for the upcoming state Assembly elections by sending a team of 1,200 members to Kerala. This team, which includes MLAs, ministers, and political leaders, is expected to handle campaigning and logistics. However, confusion has arisen regarding their focus areas. For instance, a Mumbai-based MLA assigned to Kasargod was initially enthusiastic about the region's scenic spots but was later redirected to focus on urban issues in Palakkad district. Additionally, an incident involving self-styled godman Ashok Kharat led to a Maharashtra official hiding an injury to avoid negative associations. The situation was further complicated by a drug raid where police units blamed each other for leaking information to drug peddlers, indicating potential internal strife that may hinder the campaign's effectiveness.
