Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the left parties in Kerala, labeling them as ‘incompetent’ and blaming them for the hardships endured by the state under their governance. Addressing a public campaign in Pathanamthitta for candidates of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), PM Modi emphasized the need to break the cycle of consecutive Left Democratic Front (LDF) and United Democratic Front (UDF) governments for the benefit of Kerala’s people.
“Kerala’s culture is rooted in spirituality, but UDF and LDF are known for suppressing this. The state’s culture promotes peace, yet political violence is the norm for UDF and LDF. LDF is associated with gold looting, while UDF’s legacy is tied to solar power loot. I am here to seek your blessings to end this looting game,” PM Modi stated, highlighting the alleged corruption and incompetence of the current government in Kerala.
He further criticized both LDF and UDF governments for neglecting the struggles of rubber farmers and failing to address the state’s issues effectively. PM Modi expressed confidence in BJP’s prospects in Kerala in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, vowing that the party will win seats and break old records.
In his address, PM Modi extended greetings for upcoming festivals and promised to work tirelessly for Kerala’s development if given the opportunity. He praised Anil K Antony, the BJP candidate for the Pathanamthitta seat, and highlighted the importance of encouraging youth participation in politics.
Kerala has 20 Lok Sabha constituencies, and the BJP has never won a parliamentary seat in the state. However, PM Modi’s optimistic tone and strong statements indicate the party’s determination to make significant gains in the upcoming elections.
