Kochi, 11 Mar

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday attacked Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi, alleging that he is unaware of the development happening in the country, and accused the grand old party of playing politics over the West Asia crisis.

At a BJP-led NDA rally here, Modi stated that Kerala's pattern of alternating between LDF and UDF governments must end for the benefit of the State.

He urged the people of Kerala to give the BJP-led NDA a chance to serve them for the next five years, as it comes with "Modi's guarantees".

PM Modi said that people were ready to move away from the LDF-UDF politics and asserted that the BJP's wins in the Thrissur Lok Sabha seat in 2024 and the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation recently will expand to the entire state of Kerala.

Attacking Rahul Gandhi, Modi claimed that the Congress "Yuvaraj" (prince) doesn't know about the development happening in the country, as he was unaware that the youth and various companies in India, including in Kerala, were into drone manufacturing.

Modi, in his speech, also said that the BJP will work to make Kerala a hub of AI and future technology.

Referring to the West Asia crisis, he claimed that the India of today does not leave its citizens stranded elsewhere and that the central government was working to ensure that all help is provided to Indians stuck in the Gulf region.

He also attacked the Congress in connection with the West Asia crisis, claiming that the opposition party was playing politics on the issue.

The PM further said that the Gulf countries were giving utmost care to Indians working there, and he was grateful to them for that.
