Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday hit out at the ruling LDF and opposition UDF in Kerala, saying that the Left parties in the state are following “one family rule model” of Congress.
Addressing a rally in Thiruvananthapuram, PM Modi said that the two alliances are “each other’s enemies” in the state but “outside Kerala, they are Best Friends Forever”.
“BJP has never come to power in Kerala but I have laid my track record in front of you. Congress and its other communist alliances have only one priority. They only let their family to rule the country. For them, the welfare of their family is superior to the welfare of Indians. This colour of the Congress has also been rubbed on the left parties. In Kerala, they are each other’s enemies but outside Kerala, they are BFFs, which means Best Friends Forever.” PM Modi said.
The Prime Minister said that his party has worked to empower Kerala and benefits of development have been reaped over the past 10 years.
“BJP has never seen any Indian state from the perspective of a vote-bank. Even when the BJP was not strong in Kerala, even then we worked day in and day out to empower Kerala. Over the past 10 years, the benefits of development have been reaped by Kerala as much as done by the BJP-ruled states,” PM Modi said.
He said that the opposition has accepted its defeat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and its only agenda is to abuse him.
“It (the opposition) does not have a road map for the development of the country, hence it has made only one agenda, to abuse Modi. I know that Kerala will never stand with those having such negative thoughts, Kerala will bless BJP and NDA for nation-building. People are walking shoulder to shoulder with BJP on the streets, which in itself is a big message…” he said.
“There is a different level of enthusiasm among the people of Kerala. The hope that was aroused for BJP in Kerala in 2019 seems to be changing into confidence in 2024. In 2019, the people of Kerala voted for BJP-NDA in double digits, in 2024 the people of Kerala will give double-digit seats to us. In 2019, the country was giving slogans of ‘Phir ek baar Modi Sarkar’, in 2024, everyone is saying ‘Abki baar, 400 paar,” he added.
Earlier in the day, the PM inaugurated three important space infrastructure projects worth about Rs 1,800 crore at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre.
The projects include ‘PSLV Integration Facility’ at Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota; ‘Semi-cryogenics Integrated Engine and stage Test facility’ at Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Propulsion Complex at Mahendragiri; and ‘Trisonic Wind Tunnel’ at VSSC, while also reviewing the progress of Gaganyaan.

TN has always been in BJP’s heart, says PM
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday asserted that even though the Bharatiya Janata Party has not been in power in Tamil Nadu but the state has always been in the heart of the BJP adding that his relationship with Tamil Nadu is not connected to politics but of that from the heart.
Addressing a public rally in Palladam, PM Modi said that his relationship with Tamil Nadu is decades old, adding that the people, who sit in air-conditioned rooms in Delhi, and dream of breaking the integrity of the country, need to come here and see that Tamil Nadu will shape the destiny of India in front of their eyes.
“Even though the BJP has not been in power in Tamil Nadu, the state has always been in the heart of the BJP. All my Tamil brothers and sisters understand this and are aware of it. So those who have looted the state for decades are scared of the increasing power of the BJP (in the state). Tamil Nadu has always given me unconditional love,” the prime minister said.
The Prime Minister further said that the Kongu region of Tamil Nadu represents India’s growth story in many ways.
“It is one of India’s most vibrant textile and industry hubs. It also contributes to our country’s wind energy capacity. This region is also known for the spirit of enterprise. Our risk-taking entrepreneurs and MSMEs play a role in making us the fastest growing economy,” it added.
He further said that this year, Tamil Nadu is going to create history, adding that the historical ‘en man en makkal’ padayatra is the biggest proof.
“In 2024, Tamil Nadu is the most discussed today because, in the country, Tamil Nadu is going to become the newest vibrant centre of the politics of development. In 2024, Tamil Nadu is going to create history. The historical ‘en man en makkal’ padayatra that has been completed today is the biggest proof of this,” he added.
The six-month-long padyatra was started by Tamil Nadu BJP President Annamalai in July 2023 and concluded today with PM Modi addressing in Palladam.
Annamalai concluded his tour of all 234 assembly constituencies in Palladam.
The six-month-long padayatra was launched by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the state’s pilgrim town of Rameswaram on July 28, 2023. (ANI)
