Ernakulam is an urban, educated, cosmopolitan constituency — exactly the voter base that is moving towards BJP nationally. The 2021 results showed our vote share growing significantly. This time, with a candidate who has spent 40 years in public life here, who knows every ward and every issue personally, the momentum is different. Change doesn't come until someone commits to it. I am that commitment.

An MLA who is also a BJP leader has a unique power: direct access to the Central government. I can fast-track Central funds, infrastructure projects, PMAY housing, Jal Jeevan Mission water connections and Skill India programmes to Ernakulam — bypassing state bureaucracy. A strong Opposition MLA also keeps the ruling party accountable in the Assembly. Ernakulam deserves a voice that is heard in both Thiruvananthapuram and Delhi.

Ernakulam is one of Kerala's most diverse constituencies — Hindus, Christians, Muslims, traders, lawyers, fishermen, IT professionals — all live here together. I have worked alongside every community for 40 years. My campaign has been welcomed by people of all faiths across every ward. BJP's agenda is development, governance and accountability. If I win, every citizen of Ernakulam wins — regardless of religion or community.

Ernakulam floods every monsoon because drainage has been neglected for decades by LDF and UDF governments taking turns. I will push for a comprehensive drainage masterplan funded through AMRUT 2.0, prioritise the Thevara-Perandoor canal widening, and bring smart road repair contracts with accountability clauses. As a media professional and former agency head, I know how to hold contractors and officials publicly accountable. No more patch repairs.

I started in RSS at 16. I built a business, ran an award-winning creative agency, conceived and ran the Kerala Shopping Festival — one of India's largest — and represented BJP in over 350 televised debates. I have authored two books. I have been on the ground in Ernakulam for four decades. I am not a parachuted candidate. I was born in Thrippunithura, I live in Ernakulam, and I will serve Ernakulam. The question is — who has done more groundwork than this?

One promise above all: accessibility. My phone number is public. My WhatsApp is open. Every message gets a personal response within 48 hours — you can test that right now on this website. An MLA who is unreachable after the election is useless. I will hold a monthly open sabha in each ward. I will personally follow up on every complaint filed through this site. Ernakulam will have an MLA who is always present — not just during elections.
