Prime Minister Narendra Modi took out a roadshow in Palakkad town on Tuesday morning, infusing enthusiasm and excitement in thousands of Bharatiya Janata Party workers who gathered here from far and near to greet him.
It was Mr. Modi’s second visit to Kerala within a week as part of the BJP’s election campaign. He addressed a BJP rally in Pathanamthitta on March 15. BJP leaders said Mr. Modi would come to Kerala again to campaign for the party’s key candidates in April.
The helicopter carrying the Prime Minister landed at the Mercy College ground here at 10.20 a.m. From there he proceeded to Fort Maidan by road. He boarded an open vehicle bedecked with yellow and orange flowers in front of the municipality building, which was the first urban civic body in Kerala to have the BJP in power.
