I urge all the eligible voters in Kerala to turn out and exercise their franchise in support of the BJP: PM Modi
Only the BJP can ensure social justice for every group in Kerala like we did across the country: PM Modi
Everybody has seen how the UDF and LDF are threatening the traditions and religious practices of the people here: Prime Minister Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a major public meeting in Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala today.

Urging his supporters in the southern state to vote for the BJP in the ongoing General elections, PM Modi said, “The faith and affection towards the BJP and me has only increased over time. I am here to seek the blessings of the people so that we continue to transform this faith into rapid development. This is why, I urge all the eligible voters in Kerala to turn out and exercise their franchise in support of the BJP during these elections and strengthen our resolve to bring rapid development in Kerala.”

 

 

Taking on the regional rivals, the UDF and the ruling LDF for their ineffective policies and rampant corruption, PM Modi said, “Only the BJP can ensure social justice for every group in Kerala. Everybody has seen how the UDF and LDF are threatening the traditions and religious practices of the people here while they indulge in corruption, bribery and other illegal activities. Can anyone forgive the Congress for the humiliation and suffering it gave to Mr. Nambi Narayan, whose entire career was destroyed by the false allegations of the Congress. This is the true face of these parties, they are not people-centric, they are ‘family-centric’ instead.” He further commented on the issue of Congress President contesting elections from the seat of Wayanad in Kerala and said that the Congress party had done so because it wanted to replicate the ‘Amethi Model of Development’ in Wayanad and added that contesting from South India was not giving a message to the people of the South, it was rather about appeasing specific communities that was the main motivation behind such a decision.

Over a dozen key peace agreements have brought lasting stability, especially in regions like Bodoland: PM Modi

PM Modi interacted with BJP booth karyakartas across Assam as a part of the ‘Mera Booth, Sabse Mazboot’ programme via NaMo App. He energised booth-level members and reaffirmed that every booth remains the foundation of the party’s strength and electoral success. He hailed the true spirit of Assam, calling it a powerful force driving BJP’s growth in the Northeast.

Opening the interaction, PM Modi described himself as a karyakarta first, expressing pride in working alongside the grassroots cadre.

Addressing key regional concerns, PM Modi underscored the importance of protecting Assam’s identity and tackling issues like illegal infiltration, calling it not just a political issue but one of security, culture, and justice. He urged karyakartas to raise awareness at the grassroots and support efforts ensuring the rights and dignity of indigenous communities.

He also highlighted the empowerment of tea garden workers through land rights and welfare schemes, calling it a historic step towards dignity and long-term security for lakhs of families.

Reaffirming the guiding principles of ‘Seva, Sangathan, and Samarpan’, PM Modi said that Assam’s BJP karyakartas embody the true spirit of the organisation.

He concluded with a powerful call to action:“When every booth becomes strong, victory becomes certain, and Assam’s future becomes brighter.”
