The party has also tried to placate various caste groups through changing the state?s reservation policy and has adopted an aggressive communal strategy that has yielded mixed results beyond coastal districts. The PM?s popularity did not help the BJP in the 2018 election, and the opposition is highlighting the state?s unfair treatment by the Centre.
