At a rally in Thiruvalla, Pathanamthitta district, Prime Minister Narendra Modi proclaimed that the countdown for the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government's exit in Kerala has begun, signaling a shift towards a BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) administration. Modi asserted that the NDA has made significant investments in Kerala's development, spending five times more than previous Congress-led regimes. He criticized the LDF for neglecting basic infrastructure and delaying the Sabari rail project, which he claims has harmed the local population. Modi emphasized that the upcoming elections on April 9 will be pivotal for Kerala, promising that a BJP government would address the state’s issues, including youth migration and corruption. He also highlighted the NDA's focus on women's empowerment, stating that they benefit most from its policies. Modi's remarks reflect a strategic push for the BJP's expansion in Kerala, where it seeks to end decades of Left rule.
