Kerala BJP Launches Muslim Outreach Programme
A political party in Kerala, called the BJP, is starting a special program to talk to Muslim families.
They say they are doing this because they believe some people have been told untrue things about their party, and they want to correct that.
They want to build trust and show that they care about everyone in the community.
Party workers will visit Muslim homes to share their message.
The party leaders say this is not about trying to win votes, but about making sure everyone knows their real goals.
They want to share the idea that they work for the development of all people.
This is happening right before local elections.

State BJP president Rajeev Chandrasekhar announced the program, stating it aims to communicate the message of inclusive development.
BJP workers will visit Muslim households and distribute leaflets.
