In Mega South Push, PM To Campaign In Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telangana Today
NDTV
The PM, on a marathon campaign train, has several programmes and public meetings planned in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana today.
With just weeks left for the crucial Lok Sabha elections, the BJP has intensified its South outreach. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will spearhead the party's campaigns in Kerala, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu, states where the BJP is yet to make major inroads.
In Kerala, the BJP is working to woo the minority Christian community to secure a strong foothold in a state where the demographic landscape - with a dominant Muslim and Christian population - is a formidable challenge for a party that is seen as pro-Hindu.
PM Modi will arrive in Pathanamthitta at 10.30 am and will be received by the BJP's state chief K Surendran, the party's Kerala in-charge Prakash Javadekar, state General Secretary George Kurian, and Pathanamthitta district president VA Sooraj.
