Modi’s Kerala promise: ‘Will win double-digit seats in Lok Sabha’

This was PM Modi’s third visit to Kerala in less than two months.

PM Modi said the huge crowd that had joined the Surendran-led padayatra has made the BJP’s target of 370 seats in the Lok Sabha easier. “Modi is committed to fulfil your expectations, that is Modi’s guarantee,” he said.

A flame of ‘hope’ that emerged in Kerala in 2019 has transformed into a flame of ‘faith’ in 2024.

This time, Kerala has decided to give BJP seats in double digits.

The journey from 2019 to 2024 is a journey from “Fir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar” to “Abki Baar, 400 Paar”!

The Prime Minister said the BJP-led Union government has never shown any discrimination towards Kerala. In the last 10 years, he said, the BJP government has ensured Kerala’s development and the wise people of the state know this.

“In the third term of the Modi government, India will become the third largest force in the world. That is Modi’s guarantee. The third Modi government will intensify the fight against corruption. In the last 10 years, more than 25 crore people could be uplifted from poverty,” he added.

Referring to various developmental projects and welfare schemes launched during his regime, PM Modi said despite the non-cooperation of the Kerala government, the Centre has given top priority to the state. The government has changed the exam system to enable job seekers to write exams in regional languages, including Malayalam, he said.

Attacking the Congress and the CPI(M), which are part of the Opposition INDIA alliance, PM Modi said, “What is the track record of Congress and CPI(M)? For decades, Congress had laid down the interest of the country for the sake of a family. In Kerala, CPI(M) is also on the Congress path of family rule. Congress and CPI(M), which fight each other in Kerala, are united in Delhi. I have no doubt that in the coming elections, people will give a fitting reply to this double standard. This election would be an opportunity for the creation of a new Kerala. BJP slogan is ‘Sabka Vikas, Sabka Saath and Sabka Vishwas’.” The third BJP government will also function on these themes, he added.
