Prime Minister Narendra Modi, currently on a two-day visit to Kerala, delivered an address at Thiruvananthapuram Central Stadium, predicting strong electoral support for BJP and NDA in the upcoming elections. Prior to the public meeting, PM Modi made a significant announcement at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, unveiling the selection of four astronauts for India's inaugural human space flight program, Gaganyaan on Tuesday.
At a public meeting in Thiruvananthapuram, PM Modi said, "There's a new excitement among the people of Kerala this time. In 2019, a new hope had emerged for BJP in Kerala. In 2024, that hope is turning into faith. In 2019, Kerala gave votes to BJP-led NDA in double digit. In 2024, we are confident that Kerala will give us seats in double digit."
"The opposition has already accepted its defeat in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. They are freaked out, they don't have a roadmap for the country's development, and that's why they have just one agenda - abuse Modi. However, I know the people of Kerala and they will never accept people with such negative thinking," he said.
PM Modi underscored that the saffron party has never viewed any Indian state solely through the lens of electoral gains, highlighting their dedicated efforts to empower Kerala despite previous electoral challenges. He said, "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, "It is my guarantee to make all possible efforts to realise the dreams and expectations of Kerala."
