On Day 2 In South, PM Modi's Massive Roadshow In Kerala

While Kerala has a bipolar politics that swings between the Congress and the Left, it is also the second southern state where the BJP had managed to open its account.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a massive roadshow in Thrissur on Day 2 of his visit to South India that is seen as a mega push towards the BJP campaign for the Lok Sabha elections due later this year. The party is holding a massive meet for women in the state's cultural capital, which the Prime Minister addressed shortly after.

The meet -- seen as a grand reception for the Prime Minister after the passage of the women's reservation bill in parliament in September -- was attended by over 2 lakh women. Among them are teachers, anganwadi workers, and women from other walks of life. This is PM Modi's second visit to the city in the last five years.
