‘Never sees as a vote-bank’

He said the Congress accused the Communist Chief Minister (Pinarayi Vijayan) of being involved in corruption and scams and termed the Left government as fascist.

“The Communists in response, lathi-charged the Congress workers and termed their previous administrations as being involved in various scams. However, outside Kerala, at the INDI alliance meetings, they sit together, eat samosas and biscuits, and have tea,” the PM said, pointing out the incongruity.

“So in Thiruvananthapuram, they say one thing and in Delhi, they say something else. The people of Kerala will answer this betrayal in the coming LS polls,” he said.

Modi urged Kerala’s people to bless the saffron party with seats in double digits in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

Insisting that the BJP never sees a state from the perspective of a vote bank, Modi claimed that over the past 10 years, Kerala has benefited from development like other BJP-ruled states.

He said it was his guarantee to make all possible efforts to help the people of Kerala realise their dreams and expectations.

The prime minister said it was ‘Modiyude guarantee’ (Modi’s guarantee) to make India the third-largest economy in the world as well as eradicate poverty and corruption from the country.
