The expectation for BJP in Kerala election was ten assembly seats but won only the Nemom seat. Infuriated BJP central leadership, therefore , denied berth for any Keralite in the central ministry. Absence of one from Kerala in the 19 newly selected central ministers is a pointer in this regard. The more humiliated person is actor turned politician Suresh Gopi who was dreaming for a ministerial berth for quite long.
During the assembly election campaign in April, several national leaders of the BJP had hinted that if the state leaders put up a credible performance, one of them will be given a central cabinet berth. O. Rajagopal's victory is creditable one nevertheless the central leadership backtracked from their promise.
