Kerala's culture is known for peace, but UDF and LDF parties are indulged in political violence: PM Modi
The people of Kerala are progressive and visionary, but Congress is still living with the 19th century's thoughts. Also, the ideology of LDF is completely outdated: PM
The LDF and UDF people pretend to be opponents, but in Delhi, they 'hug' each other, says PM Modi in Pathanamthitta
The only panacea for saving Kerala is getting rid of Congress and LDF. It's the only solution through which people of Kerala will get justice: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed at an event in Pathanamthitta, Kerala, where the PM was showered with extreme love and admiration. The PM instantly established a core connection with the crowd by addressing them in their own language. Directing towards the huge crowd, the PM remarked, that “BJP is promoting the youth energy here. Here BJP candidate Anil K Antony is full of passion to serve you. Kerala politics needs such freshness.”

Adding to his statement, the PM showed concern over the dens of communist goons on educational campuses and that “Women, youth and every section of the society are living in fear and the people sitting in the state government are sleeping peacefully.”

Exposing the sharp realities of the incumbent regime in Kerala, PM Modi said “In Kerala, both LDF and UDF engage in apparent conflict but unite in Delhi. The Congress labels the Left government as fascist, while the Communists criticize Congress for corruption. Yet, they form alliances in the capital. Both parties have deceived Kerala extensively. Kerala's populace has now seen through this deception.”

Exhibiting confidence in the common people of the state and the country as a whole, PM Modi positively affirmed that, “whether it's the Congress or the Left, people are well aware of the power games these parties have played, often to the detriment of their states. Consequently, once these parties lose power, people prevent their return.”

The PM reminded the crowd of such situations from History, that “The Congress last won elections in Tamil Nadu in 1962. Similarly, in UP, Gujarat, and Bihar, Congress hasn't won elections in four decades. In Odisha, Congress has been out of power for three decades. Many states in the country don't even have a single Congress MP. In Tripura and Bengal, people have kept the left parties away from government and power. The people of these states understand that the years they trusted Congress or the Left, their states suffered losses.”

The PM further praised Kerala and beautifully remarked, “Kerala has a rich tradition of its own and its citizens are progressive.”

The PM also took a sharp jibe at the opposition, LDF & UDF and said, “The culture of both of them is completely opposite to the traditions and progressive ideology of Kerala.” In a sorry state of affairs, the PM also added that, “The culture of Kerala promotes peace. But people of UDF-LDF believe in political violence.”

As a way forward, the PM expressed, “Amid BJP's efforts for Kerala's development, Kerala's true sentiments must reach the Central Government. With BJP MPs, conveying Kerala's needs and implementing Central schemes at the grassroots level becomes easier and seamless.”

Reminiscing about the past years, PM Modi recalled one of the historic trade agreements India signed with UAE in 2022, which paved the way for hundreds of billions of dollars of trade and investment in the years to come. The PM asked, ultimately, who would enjoy the benefits from these agreements if it's not the youth from Kerala who live in UAE in large numbers.

The PM shared a very special memory with the crowd, saying, “When in 2021, I met His Holiness Pope Francis at the Vatican, I also made a special mention of Kerala.” The PM added that even the Pope was very impressed to know about the progress taking place in India.

In a hopeful statement, PM Modi also bestowed his best wishes for the festivals of Easter, Navroz and the Holy month of Ramzan. Meanwhile, the PM even reminded the crowd that the “biggest festival of Democracy is also about to begin.”

In his heartfelt concluding remark at the event, PM Modi reiterated his confidence in Kerala and its people, their love and affection towards him. In his parting words, the PM thanked each and every person in the crowd, declaring, “I promise you again, Modi will leave no stone unturned for Kerala's development.”

May 27, 2026
Prime Minister calls for vigilance, hydration and care for vulnerable people during heatwave
Prime Minister appeals to citizens to help birds, animals and those affected by extreme heat

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has urged citizens across the country to take all possible precautions amid soaring temperatures being witnessed in different parts of India.

Shri Modi urged people to stay hydrated, carry water while stepping out and extend help to others by offering them water during the harsh weather conditions.

The Prime Minister also advised people to remain alert to signs of heat exhaustion such as dizziness, nausea and extreme fatigue. He urged citizens to immediately help anyone feeling unwell, weak or suffering from headaches by moving them to a cool and shaded place and ensuring availability of water and ORS.

Shri Modi noted that children, elderly people and those working outdoors are especially vulnerable during extreme heat and cautioned that ignoring warning signs may lead to heatstroke.

Shri Modi also called upon people to regularly check on elderly parents, grandparents and loved ones during the heatwave and remind them to stay hydrated, avoid stepping out during peak afternoon hours and take adequate rest.

Emphasising compassion during extreme weather conditions, the Prime Minister appealed to citizens to keep bowls of water outside homes, balconies, terraces, shops and offices for birds and animals.

In a series of X posts, Shri Modi said;

“Different parts of India are witnessing soaring temperatures and the challenges that come with it. This heat is harsh on all of us and I urge you all to take as many precautions as possible. Please stay hydrated, keep water with you when stepping out. Offer a glass of water to others. In weather like this, such kindness goes a long way.”

“Watch for signs of heat exhaustion like dizziness, nausea or extreme fatigue. If someone around you feels unusually unwell, weak or develops a headache, it is best to help move them to a cool and shaded place immediately. Ensure they get water, ORS etc. that helps them. Children, the elderly and those working outdoors are especially vulnerable during extreme heat. Ignoring these warning signs can quickly turn dangerous and may even lead to heatstroke. In such weather, timely care and attention go a long way.”

“Whenever possible, call and check on elderly parents, grandparents and loved ones during this heatwave. Remind them to stay hydrated, avoid stepping out in peak afternoon hours and take rest whenever possible.”

“In this extreme heat, let us also remember the birds and animals around us. A small bowl of water kept outside your home, balconies, terraces, shops or offices can become a lifeline for a thirsty bird. May compassion guide us in these difficult days.”

“देश के अलग-अलग हिस्सों में तापमान लगातार बढ़ रहा है और इसके साथ ही दैनिक जीवन में गर्मी से होने वाली कई कठिनाइयां भी बढ़ रही हैं। मैं सभी देशवासियों से आग्रह करता हूं कि जितनी अधिक सावधानी बरत सकें, अवश्य बरतें। कृपया स्वयं को हाइड्रेटेड रखें, घर से बाहर निकलते समय पानी साथ रखें। ऐसे मौसम में आपकी संवेदनशीलता भी बहुत बड़ा सहारा बन जाती है। यदि संभव हो, तो किसी प्यासे व्यक्ति को एक गिलास पानी अवश्य दें। मैं ऐसे लोगों की सराहना भी करूँगा जो अपने घरों के और दुकानों के बाहर मटके में जल रखते हैं ताकि कोई भी उनसे पानी पी सके।”

“अत्यधिक गर्मी से होने वाली परेशानी, जैसे चक्कर आना, मतली या ज्यादा थकान लगे तो उसे बिल्कुल भी नजरअंदाज न करें। यदि आपके आसपास किसी व्यक्ति को अचानक बेहोशी जैसा लगे, कमजोरी महसूस करे या फिर अस्वस्थ दिखाई दे, तो उसे तुरंत किसी ठंडी और छायादार जगह पर ले जाएं। उसे पानी, ORS या अन्य तरल पदार्थ दें, जिससे शरीर को राहत मिल सके। बच्चे, बुज़ुर्ग और धूप में काम करने वाले लोग इस भीषण गर्मी में सबसे अधिक प्रभावित होते हैं। समय रहते ध्यान न देने पर यह स्थिति हीटस्ट्रोक जैसी गंभीर समस्या का रूप ले सकती है। ऐसे समय में आपकी सतर्कता और देखभाल किसी का जीवन बचा सकती है।”

“जब भी संभव हो, अपने माता-पिता, दादा-दादी, नाना-नानी और अन्य प्रियजनों को फोन कर उनका हालचाल अवश्य पूछें। उन्हें पर्याप्त पानी पीने, दोपहर की तेज धूप में बाहर न निकलने और जितना हो सके, आराम करने की सलाह दें।”

“इस प्रचंड गर्मी में हमें अपने आसपास के पशु-पक्षियों को भी नहीं भूलना चाहिए। अपने घर, बालकनी, छत, दुकान या ऑफिस के बाहर पानी से भरा एक छोटा-सा बर्तन रखना भी किसी प्यासे पक्षी के लिए जीवनदान बन सकता है। आइए, इन कठिन दिनों में पूरी संवेदनशीलता और करुणा के साथ एक-दूसरे का ध्यान रखें।”
