PM Modi interacts with BJP Karyakartas from Keralam under “Mera Booth Sabse Mazboot” campaign
April 02, 2026
Win every booth, strengthen every connection, and Keralam will script a new chapter of development with BJP-NDA: PM Modi’s strong hope
Just like a true player peaks in crucial moments, karyakartas must now increase their intensity, outreach, and commitment as polling day approaches: PM drew an analogy from cricketer Sanju Samson’s career
The Congress and Left parties have constantly promoted appeasement and aligned with extremist elements for vote-bank politics: PM Modi to Keralam
Keralam’s youth are seeking change, driven by aspirations for better infrastructure, industry, and employment opportunities: PM Modi

PM Modi interacted with BJP karyakartas across Keralam under the “Mera Booth Sabse Mazboot” initiative, energising grassroots organisation and expressing confidence that the state is ready for a historic political shift. Extending greetings to the people of Keralam, he noted that the ongoing election campaign reflects a strong wave in favour of BJP-NDA.

Opening the interaction, PM Modi described himself as a fellow karyakarta, appreciating the dedication and perseverance of Keralam’s cadre who have worked tirelessly despite challenging political conditions. He emphasised that the growing enthusiasm seen across regions from Thiruvananthapuram to Thrissur signals a turning point in Keralam’s politics.

Encouraging strategic booth-level outreach, PM Modi urged karyakartas to intensify efforts in the final phase of the campaign. Drawing an analogy from cricketer Sanju Samson’s performance under pressure, he said that just like a true player peaks in crucial moments, karyakartas must now increase their intensity, outreach, and commitment as polling day approaches.

Highlighting ground feedback from karyakartas, PM Modi noted the increasing support for BJP even in traditionally difficult areas such as coastal regions, where fishermen and local communities are now actively joining the party.

Drawing a sharp contrast with opposition parties, PM Modi stated that both LDF and UDF have thrived on misgovernance, corruption, and political complacency, assuming that power would alternate between them indefinitely. He credited the people of Keralam for challenging this mindset.

He established that Keralam’s youth are seeking change, driven by aspirations for better infrastructure, industry, and employment opportunities. He noted that migration has become a compulsion due to lack of opportunities, and the youth now see BJP as the capable party for a change.

He also raised concerns over corruption and divisive politics, accusing Congress and Left parties of promoting appeasement and aligning with extremist elements for vote-bank politics. He urged karyakartas to expose such agendas at the grassroots level.

He mentioned that Lord Ayyappa devotees have been repeatedly overlooked in Keralam and that irregularities in cooperative banks have endangered people’s hard-earned savings.

Focusing on development, PM Modi outlined the BJP-NDA’s vision for a “Viksit Keralam,” driven by pillars such as talent, technology, trade, and tourism. He highlighted the need to unlock Keralam’s immense potential in multiple sectors.


He also stressed connecting with Keralam voters living outside the state, encouraging them and their families to participate actively in the electoral process.

PM Modi urged karyakartas to present a clear vision for the future by preparing booth-level roadmaps reflecting people’s aspirations for the next five years. He emphasised that BJP-NDA’s governance is based on “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas,”.

Reaffirming the spirit of Seva, Sangathan, and Samarpan, PM Modi praised Keralam’s BJP as resilient and dedicated, noting their years of struggle are now translating into growing public support.

He concluded with a strong call to action:
“Win every booth, strengthen every connection, and Keralam will script a new chapter of development with BJP-NDA.”
