I think its a tall order ... BJP needs to reform itself.. Tamil religious identity is separate.. Although Hindus, Tamils pay more attention to Alwars, Nayanmars and their own lineages and Bhakti material ...
Also, Tamil as a language is used a lot as a mode of religion/devotion. BJP has to overcome these issues to strike a chord with the people.
Also, there is no animosity towards Christians or Muslims in TN .. SO BJP again has no agenda ..
Jaya is losing all her cadre to Vijayakanth and Sarath Kumar .. So cant rely on her either ..

It is a fairly indigenous Tamil Religion .. Why dont all Indians start reciting Thevarams, Divya Prabandam etc. in Tamil .. THis will help HIndu UNity ...

To my knowledge, there are no Ram Temples in TN. Moreover only Brahmins worship Ram in Tamilnadu. It is commonly beleived that Ram is an Aryan god in Tamilnadu. That is the reason why it did not create much futters in TN when MK commented abt Ram and Ramayan.
Tamilians are more rational and they will give in to the pseudo patriots' inflate (communal divisions) and rule policy.

"inflated"...exactly..but the problem is that was how DMK and ADMK were able 2 keep BJP and Congis and Commies out..Somehow TN has insulated itself, and its good for TN on any day to avoid BJP(Lk adavani came 2 coimbatiore, only to have 13 bomb go at same time) and Tn ppl wd always remember Ammas flop show gamble with the 13 day Vajpaaye govt. KK is not pseudo atheist/rationalist or tamil patriot..he is open about his idealogy. Funny thing is that still Tamil has not got clasical langugae status, Cauvery and Mullai Periyar is not solved (KN --> BJP, Kerela--> Commies)for obv reasons. I wihs BJP could target LS and not the Legislature polls in TN...Next time around..hopefully KK should die and infisghting wd start and Amma can clearly get a mandate and all this 3rd party stuff is eyewash...not to trust Samajwadi party for sure..Next LS electioons...AP and TN wd squarley fall into BJPs hands and wd setup a nice platform for ppl like amma and naidu to gain momentum wihtin the state..Look what US Politicos are saying; they were more comfy with BJP and not Congress. You need a strong PM..post independance..this balle balle manmohan ki bhangra wd rank along with Nehrus flirting as the WORST/WEAKEST/SYCOPAHNTIC/HYPOCRITIC PM India has ever had..PVR and Vajpaaye were the best!!!! LK advani wd be even better...he shd have sidelined vajpayee after that 13 day collapse of BJP and set himself as a PM candidate..well Vajpaayye knows how 2 cry like a baby and say i wd quit frm BJP ...

Well said!
TN is the one (probably the only one) state which has very good communal harmony.
But since the pseudo patriots RSS has started gaining ground in TN there are incidents like Coimbatore bomb blasts, Thenkasi murders. But in general TN is a peaceful state in term of Communal Harmony.
I dont see any chance ot Captain or Sarathkumar leaning towards BJP.
But still as you said you can never predict the politicians.

Yes, there is great communal harmony in TN, that is, as long as you are not a brahmin, and as long as you do not talk about core Hindu values.
