PM Modi takes a dig at opposing Congress-Communist relations in Kerala & West Bengal

Says two different strategies in Kerala & West Bengal is like insulting intelligent Kerala voters

Taking a dig on the paradox in the political relation between the Congress party and Communist party in West Bengal and Kerala, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asked the voters of Kerala that whether they would believe in parties which speaks in two different ways in two places in the country.

Addressing a public meeting in Kasargod, Kerala, today, he said, "Communist party leaders in Kerala allege that Congress party is corrupt and they should not come to power, whereas they praise Congress leaders in West Bengal and request to vote them to power. Congress party leaders oppose Communist party in Kerala and supports Communist party in West Bengal. They are insulting the educated voters of Kerala."

He added that the BJP-led central government responded quickly during various occasions where people in Kerala met with difficulties overseas. No body from the Centre responded when a stampede occured in Sabarimala temple a few years ago, whereas when a fire mishap occurred in Kollam temple, the Prime Minister came down to the spot within a few hours, he said.

He also alleged that Kerala currently has violent politics and several BJP followers have been killed by Communist party in the state. He alleged that one such leader alleged directly for killing of BJP follower is now trying to be the next Chief Minister of the State. He asked the people of Kerala to vote for BJP to bring in the politics of development.

Prime Minister Modi, who visited Kerala and Tamil Nadu last week, is once again visiting both the states and addressing public meetings in three places in Kerala and one place in Tamil Nadu today.
