Prime Minister and Senior BJP leader Narendra Modi said that he is looking forward to attending various programmes in Ernakulam in Keralam and Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu tomorrow. In a series of social media posts, Mr Modi said that in Keralam, he will attend the Golden Jubilee celebrations of Akhila Kerala Dheevara Sabha, a body working for the welfare of fishermen. He described the work carried out by the organisation as noteworthy.

Mr Modi added that various development works will be inaugurated and foundation stones will be laid during a subsequent programme in the state. The Prime Minister said that these projects pertain to sectors such as energy, highways, rural infrastructure, railways and others. Later in the afternoon, he will address an NDA rally in the Ernakulam district.

Mr Modi said that the good governance agenda of the NDA stands in contrast to the loot and misgovernance of the Left government and the Congress-led UDF in Kerala. He added that the NDA will focus on development-orientated politics and fulfil the aspirations of the youth of the state.

In another social media post, the Prime Minister said that he will lay the foundation stone for development projects covering petroleum, natural gas, roads and railways in Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu. He noted that key projects include the foundation stone for the Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited City Gas Distribution Network in the Nilgiris and Erode districts, along with 89 rural road projects.

He further said that he will join the NDA leaders of the state for an NDA rally in Tiruchirappalli in the evening. Mr Modi said the DMK government in the state is rattled by the NDA’s rising popularity across Tamil Nadu. He added that the people of the state have seen through the misgovernance and unfulfilled promises of the DMK government and are connecting with the NDA’s agenda of hope and progress.
