PM To Campaign In Kerala

He has several events and public meetings planned…


New Delhi: On Friday, 15 March 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will spearhead the party's campaigns in Kerala, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu.

In Kerala, the BJP is working to raise the minority Christian community to secure a strong hold in a state where the stronghold of the demographic landscape - with a dominant Muslim and Christian population - is a formidable challenge for a party that is seen as pro-Hindu.

PM Modi will arrive in Pathanamthitta at 10.30 am and will be received by the BJP's state chief K Surendran, the party's Kerala in-charge Prakash Javadekar, state General Secretary George Kurian, and Pathanamthitta district president VA Sooraj.

The PM will address a public meeting here, which, according to sources, will be attended by one lakh people.

NDA's Lok Sabha picks - V Muraleedharan, Anil K Antony, Sobha Surendran, and Baiju Kalasala - will also attend the meeting, the sources said.

He added that Padmaja Venugopal, the daughter of Congress stalwart and former Kerala CM  K Karunakaran has recently switched over from Congress, will also be there.

In Tamil Nadu, the BJP does not have an ally for the first time since the AIADMK quit the NDA bloc in 2023 amid a row over the BJP's state chief K Annamalai.
