This is not surprising. Indian politics is very local. Most people are more affected by their panchayat (village council) / municipal and state governments than by the Indian government. So Muslims who live in places not ruled by the BJP probably don’t have strong opinions about Modi. Also Modi has a very carefully made ‘image’, where he tries to look his best.
Kerala is a medium-sized state, and its government is led by the Communists, who are nationally in opposition. So this was achieved with very limited resources. But now other states can copy this. Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are larger and richer states (still ruled by opposition parties), and currently have subsidised food programmes beyond the national ration system. TN is experimenting with other subsidies and schemes, and is important enough that the national government cannot ignore it.
