Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], April 4 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday held a roadshow in Thiruvananthapuram as part of the BJP’s campaign push for the upcoming Kerala Legislative Assembly elections. Supporters of the BJP thronged the route to express their support for the party.
Kerala BJP State President Rajeev Chandrashekhar and the party’s candidate for the Vattiyoorkavu constituency, R. Sreelekha, were also present at the roadshow along with local supporters.
Earlier in the day, Modi expressed confidence that a BJP-NDA government would come to power in the state, citing growing public support, particularly among women.
Addressing a rally in Thiruvalla to boost the party’s prospects, the prime minister said a major political transformation was imminent in Kerala.
“I have come here before as well, but this time the winds of change are blowing in a different direction. The biggest transformation is now about to take place in Kerala. Voting will be held on April 9, and on May 4, the end of decades of misgovernance will be declared. It is now certain that the countdown to the exit of the LDF government has begun. For the first time, a BJP-NDA government is coming to power in Kerala,” he said.
The prime minister also referred to the large turnout during his visit. “Upon my arrival, I witnessed massive crowds lining the entire route to this venue. The Left speaks of human chains, but the people of Kerala have shown their love for the NDA by forming a human wall,” he said.
He highlighted his recent interaction with party workers under the “Mera Booth Sabse Mazboot” campaign. “Over 125,000 karyakartas from 5,000 Shakti Kendras across Kerala connected and shared their insights. One message was clear: Kerala has made up its mind to show the door to the LDF government,” he added.
Modi also spoke about central government support for the state’s development. “When LDF and UDF were in power at the Centre, Kerala received far less. Under the Modi government, five times more funds have been allocated to the state compared to that period,” he said.
Kerala will go to the polls on April 9, with results scheduled to be announced on May 4 along with those for Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Assam, and Puducherry. (ANI)
