Tiruvalla (Kerala), April 4 (NationPress) On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi intensified his criticism of Kerala's leading political alliances, asserting that there exists a silent consensus between the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF), despite both sides branding each other as the BJP’s “B team”.
During a large NDA rally in Tiruvalla, PM Modi emphasized that the mutual allegations between the two parties indicate a growing acknowledgment that the BJP has established itself as the “only A team” in Kerala's political arena.
He stated that while the LDF and UDF present themselves as competitors within Kerala, they are united in their efforts against the BJP outside the state.
“Their criticisms of us stem not from rivalry, but from fear,” PM Modi remarked, accusing the two factions of having a “secret understanding”.
Addressing issues of law and order and social harmony, PM Modi charged both fronts with fostering divisive elements for electoral gains, citing incidents in Munambam as evidence.
Additionally, he criticized their management of the Sabarimala temple controversy, alleging that both administrations failed to uphold the shrine's sanctity.
The Prime Minister further accused the Congress and Left of disseminating falsehoods on significant national matters, including the Citizenship Amendment Act and regulations under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA), claiming that “spreading lies has become habitual”.
He also touched upon the contentious narratives surrounding “The Kerala Story”, suggesting a deliberate effort to tarnish the country's image.
Proposing the NDA as a viable alternative, PM Modi promised a new model of development that draws from Kerala's cultural strengths.
“What could not be accomplished in 50 years, we will endeavor to achieve in five,” he declared, dubbing it “Modi's guarantee”.
As he extended greetings for Easter and Vishu, PM Modi praised Malayalam as a “beautiful language”, acknowledging his inability to speak it, yet noting the audience's attentiveness to his speech in Hindi.
