Prime Minister Narendra Modi set the tone for the electoral battle of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Kerala by making a frontal attack on both the Left Democratic Front and the United Democratic Front in the State.
Speaking at Yuvam 2023, a youth conclave organised by the party in Kochi, Mr. Modi said some were busy smuggling gold to the country even as the BJP government at the Centre was exporting Ayurvedic drugs and such products from Kerala.
The youth of the State were desperate to free the State from the two ideologies that had been dominating the political scape for decades. While one ideology placed the political party over the interests of the State, the other was placing the interest of a family over the interests of the State. The youth of Kerala, who have realised that both ideologies were playing with their future, would renounce both ideologies, Mr. Modi said.
