Kerala BJP Faces Election Seal Controversy and CEC Case in 2026 Polls

Kerala's CPI(M) has raised concerns over alleged swapping of official election seals involving BJP-affixed seals on a 2019 letter, which the CEO's office attributes to an oversight. Meanwhile, the Election Commission registered a case against BJP candidate B. Gopalakrishnan for Model Code of Conduct violations, including communal remarks in Guruvayur. These incidents highlight escalating electoral tensions ahead of the 2026 Assembly polls, signaling close scrutiny on BJP's campaign conduct and election procedure integrity.
