The Modi government is committed for the development of Kerala. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji shares special bonding and emotional connect with Kerala.

*****************

We all know how LDF & UDF have joined hands to fight the ideology of BJP in Kerala but our karyakartas are determined to see that in times to come, there will be kamalam, kamalam and only kamalam (lotus, lotus and lotus) everywhere in Kerala.

*****************

The colour of gold is yellow everywhere but in Kerala, it is red, red and red. What is the relationship between that IT officer and the personal secretary of the Chief Minister?

*****************

We can see the heat in CM’s office also. He wrote to the Prime Minister saying no stone should remain unturned as far as the investigation is concerned. We have a saying ‘chor ki daadi mein tinka‘, it means the office of CM is also involved somewhere.

*****************

The country was aware of Rahul Gandhi’s patriotism, and added that the Congress leader had “secretly” met the Chinese envoy in India during the Doklam crisis and “misled” the nation before people got to know about it when the envoy put out the information.

*****************

Rahul Gandhi skipped 11 meetings of the Parliament’s committee on defence. It shows his dedication to the issue. He is”demoralising” our defence forces.

*****************

The Pinarayi Vijayan government has messed up the COVID-19 crisis in Kerala. They tried to suppress actual figures and lied about the quarantine facilities and people suffered due to that. The LDF government also compromised medical data of the people.

*****************

The Pinarayi Vijayan-led government is corrupt, inefficient, believes in violence and practices “nepotism” in appointments.  Misappropriation of funds, atrocities against Dalits and women and political patronage are prevalent under the Pinarayi government.

*****************

CPI(M) led LDF and the Congress led UDF are two sides of the same coin. They have always kept the nation in the dark while the Modi government has left “no stone unturned” to push development in the state.

*****************

CPM sponsored violence has been prevalent for over two decades now. More than 270 party karyakartas have lost their lives due to such violence and hundreds have been injured.

*****************

The LDF government in Kerala tried to destroy the faith of the Sabarimala temple and its devotees. It was the BJP that stood against this decision of the Vijayan government.

*****************

The funds of Guruvayur Temple Devasthanam were also forced to deposit into the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. This is not only unconstitutional but also an insult to the donation given by the devotees and betrayal to them.

*****************

Migrant workers in Wayanad had to stage a protest against the state govt. He alleged that CAA protesters have been protected by the state government while brave Malayali nurses were not supported by the Pinarayi Vijayan government.

*****************

PM Garib Kalyan Yojana has played an important role in the fight against Corona, empowering poor and farmers. During COVID-19, we’ve seen how PM Gareeb Kalyan Yojana has been effective. Rs.64,500 cr has been disbursed so far under this scheme of Rs.1.70 lakh crore.

*****************

Now Hon’ble PM has announced another big relief in the form of free ration of 5kg grains per person & 1kg Chana per family per month for 80 Cr people for next 5 months. This will be a big relief to the poor people during monsoon & festival seasons.

*****************

Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan is becoming the identity of a New India. In the coming few years, India will definitely be distinguished as a self-reliant nation.

*****************

Under the Vande Bharat mission, over 1.21 lakh people have returned to Kerala. Rs 1,214 cr have been provided to 1.5 cr beneficiaries via DBT. Under the National Social Assistance Scheme, 68.8 cr has been given to 7 lakh beneficiaries.

*****************

The party did its best during the COVID crisis, helping people with masks, food, and sanitizers. Party Karyakartas Kerala distributed 20 lakh food packets, 7 lakh ration kits and nearly 18 lakh masks in Kerala. I congratulate them for their efforts.

*****************

I call upon the workers and people of Kerala to leave LDF, UDF and Congress to join the BJP and make the state stronger.

BJP National president Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda on Sunday virtually inaugurated the newly constructed BJP District Committee office ‘Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Mandiram’, Kasargod in Kerala. Union Minister of State, Shri V. Muraleedharan and BJP National General Secretary Shri B. L. Santosh were present in the event in Delhi while Kerala BJP President Shri K. Surendran, Shri PK Krishna Das, Shri CK Padmanabhan and various other eminent leaders were present at Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Mandiram, Kasargod, Kerala. Lakhs of people took part in this mega virtual rally. This is the rally being held in Kerala’s political history for the first time.

Shri Nadda said that Kerala is the land of Shakti and Bhakti (strength and devotion). I pay my respects to the people of Kerala. He bowed the Madhur Ganapathi Temple in Kasargod, Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple and Bhagwan Ayappa. He also recalled the contribution of Adi Shankaracharya and Shri Narayana Guru. He also paid tribute to all of the BJP karyakartas of Kerala who dedicated their lives for the ideology and democracy in Kerala. He said that Kasargod is also known as ‘Saptha Bhasha Sangama Bhoomi’ which depicts the deep cultural background the Kasargod has.

The BJP National President attacked the Pinarayi Vijayan-led government in Kerala questioning its involvement in a high-profile gold smuggling case. He asked, “The colour of gold is yellow everywhere but in Kerala, it is red, red and red. What is the relationship between that IT officer and the personal secretary of the Chief Minister?” We can see the heat in CM’s office also. He wrote to the Prime Minister saying no stone should remain unturned as far as the investigation is concerned. We have a saying ‘chor ki daadi mein tinka‘, it means the office of CM is also involved somewhere, he further added.

While addressing party leaders and karyakartas in Kerala virtually, Shri Nadda said that we all know how LDF & UDF have joined hands to fight the idea of BJP in Kerala but our karyakartas are determined to see that in times to come, there will be kamalam, kamalam and kamalam (lotus, lotus and lotus) not in just Kasargod, but in entire Kerala. He asserted that the BJP was determined to emerge victorious there. He said, the Bharatiya Janata Party is building party offices in all districts. In Kerala aslo, construction of all the district BJP offices are on fast track. An office is needed for proper functioning of any party. For implementation of the plans, everyone needs an office. The Kasargod office is digitally equipped and has all modern facilities. This new office will play a big role in connecting the people and party karyakartas of the district and will stand up to every expectation.

Speaking on the journey of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Kerala, the BJP President said that in the last decade, the Bharatiya Janata Party has grown in Kerala swiftly. Our vote percentage has grown from 6 to 16 between 2009 and 2019. We have made our present felt at the panchayat level too. Our membership has significantly increased from 11 lakh to 25 lakh in a very short span.

Talking about development activities initiated by the NDA government under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji in Kerala, Shri Nadda said the Modi government is committed for the development of Kerala. The Vizhinjam International Transhipment Deepwater Multipurpose Seaport is being on track with the financial help of the Central government. The Modi Government has invested more than two lakh crore rupees for the development of railway and approx 64,000 cr for national highways in Kerala. Cochin shipyard is underway with a financial assistance of Rs.3,400 crore while Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi have been declared Solar cities. 17 cities of Kerala have been brought under Amruta Nagar and 17 food parks are developing. Nearly Rs.1000 crores have been granted for the water transport through 8 rivers in Kerala also. Although we are not in power in Kerala, our intention has been to work together for the state’s development.

Remembering Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji’s emotional connect with Kerala, the BJP President said during the Puttingal Temple tragedy, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji reached the spot in Kollam within 10 hours. I stayed there with a team of the best doctors for a week as health minister. It shows the special bonding of our Prime Minister with Kerala. He also recalled the PM’s visit to Abu Dhabi where Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji met with the Kerala diaspora, talked to them, had lunch with them and understood their problems in detail and tried to solve it. He did the same in Dubai. Father Tom Uzhunnalil rescued, Father Alexis Prem Kumar rescued from captivity in Afghanistan. Similarly 46 Indian nurses have been brought back to India who were in captivity of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants in war-ravaged Iraq for 23 days.

Shri Nadda said, although we have no elected representative from Kerala, Prime minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and the Bharatiya Janata Party are taking care of Kerala by giving political representation. Shri V. Muraleedharan, Shri Suresh Gopi and Shri Alphons Kannanthanam have been nominated to Rajya Sabha while Shri Richard Hay was nominated to Lok Sabha. He said, in Ujala Yojana, Kerala has got 1.54 crore LED bulbs. In the Swachh Bharat mission, 2.25 lakh toilets have been constructed, helping Kerala turn 100% ODF. In Ayushman Bharat, over 8 lakh people have received treatment worth over Rs 500 crore.

Praising Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana, the BJP President said, PM Garib Kalyan Yojana has played an important role in the fight against Corona, empowering poor and farmers. During COVID-19, we’ve seen how PM Gareeb Kalyan Yojana has been effective. Within days of announcing lock down Govt. came out with a detailed PM Gareeb Kalyan Yojana with free ration to 80 Cr people & DBT to 36 Cr accounts. Both these measures mitigated the suffering of poor persons in a big way. Now Hon’ble PM has announced another big relief in the form of free ration of 5kg grains per person & 1kg Chana per family per month for 80 Cr people for next 5 months. This will be a big relief to the poor people during monsoon & festival seasons. This scheme will provide free ration for next 5 months i.e. from July to November. He said, Rs.64,500 cr has been disbursed so far till 28 June, 2020 under PM Garib Kalyan Yojana of Rs.1.70 lakh crore. Rs.17,890 cr were given to 8.70 crore farmers under Pradhanmantri Krishi Samman Nidhi Yojana while 20 crore women Jan-Dhan account holders benefited with Rs.30,611 cr.

Shri Nadda also elaborated Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan and said that it is not only playing an important role in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic crisis but is also becoming the identity of a New India. Rs. 3 lakh crore Collateral free Automatic Loans were announced for Businesses, including MSMEs. As of July 1, loans worth more than 1.10 lakh crore have been sanctioned under the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme to more than 30 lakh units of MSMEs & other businesses. The agri ecosystem is being strengthened by several enabling schemes like the Agri Infra Fund of Rs. 1 lakh crore for post harvest infrastructure. In the coming few years, India will definitely be distinguished as a self-reliant nation.

The BJP National President said that under the Vande Bharat mission, we all know over 5 lakh Indians have returned & over 1.21 lakh people have returned to Kerala. Rs 1,214 cr have been provided to 1.5 cr beneficiaries via DBT. Under the National Social Assistance Scheme, 68.8 cr has been given to 7 lakh beneficiaries.

Shri Nadda said, 49 lakh people have directly benefited from the endeavours of the BJP. The party did its best during the COVID crisis, helping people with masks, food, and sanitizers. Party Karyakartas in Kerala distributed 20 lakh food packets, 7 lakh ration kits and nearly 18 lakh masks. I congratulate BJP Kerala unit and party karyakartas for their efforts during Covid-19 pandemic.

Taking a dig at the ruling LDF government in Kerala, the BJP President said that the Pinarayi Vijayan government has messed up the COVID-19 crisis in Kerala. They tried to suppress actual figures, even Indian Medical Association (IMA) and doctors came out saying that we should increase testing but the state government’s attitude was always negative. Shri Nadda slammed the Kerala government for allegedly lying about the quarantine facilities in the state for the coronavirus victims and claimed “people suffered due to that”. He also talked about Sprinklr deal and alleged that medical data of the state is being compromised.

Shri Nadda attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is a Lok Sabha MP from the state, as well for his controversial statements to malign the image of the country. In a dig at Gandhi, he said wryly that the country was aware of his patriotism, and added that the Congress leader had “secretly” met the Chinese envoy in India during the Doklam crisis and “misled” the nation before people got to know about it when the envoy put out the information. Rahul Gandhi skipped 11 meetings of the Parliament’s committee on defence, and this shows his dedication to the issue, Shri Nadda said, and accused him of “demoralising” the defence forces.

The BJP President said that the Pinarayi Vijayan-led government is corrupt, inefficient, believes in violence and practices “nepotism” in appointments. CPM sponsored violence has been prevalent for over two decades now. More than 270 party karyakartas have lost their lives due to such violence and hundreds have been injured. He asserted that the CPI(M) led LDF and the Congress led UDF are two sides of the same coin. He said that misappropriation of funds, atrocities against Dalits and women, nepotism in political appointments and political patronage are prevalent under the Pinarayi government. The CAG audit has pointed out several things that need to be investigated. On the other hand, the Modi government has left “no stone unturned” to push development in the state.

Shri Nadda said that Congress led UDF and CPI (M) led LDF have always kept the nation in the dark. The LDF government in Kerala tried to destroy the faith of the Sabarimala temple and its devotees. It was the Bharatiya Janata Party that stood against this decision of the Vijayan government. Similarly, the funds of Guruvayur Temple Devasthanam were also forced to deposit into the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.

He alleged that CAA protesters have been protected by the state government while brave Malayali nurses were not supported by the Pinarayi Vijayan government. I call upon the workers and people of Kerala to leave LDF, UDF and Congress to join the BJP and make the state stronger.
