Prime Minister Narendra Modi will kick off the election campaign of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the State with a massive public event in the first week of January.
Speaking to media persons after a meeting of the NDA State committee here on Saturday, BJP State president and NDA chairman K. Surendran said Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP national president J. P. Nadda too were slated to join the election campaign on various occasions.
According to Mr. Surendran, the NDA would embark on a door-to-door campaign to highlight the various development and welfare projects of the Union government from December 13 to 20 in all grama panchayats across the State. Reviving its attempts to bridge the gap with the Christian community, the NDA workers will be visiting all Christian homes from December 20 to 30 to pass on the Christmas – Easter message of the Prime Minister. The coalition also looks to utilise the opportunity to expose the alleged communal appeasement policy of the Congress-led UDF and the CPI (M)-headed LDF.
