Prime Minister Narendra Modi sought to carve a path to victory for the BJP in Kerala by attempting to harness women votes by addressing a mammoth rally
Prime Minister Narendra Modi sought to carve a path to victory for the BJP in Kerala by attempting to harness votes of women by addressing a mammoth rally at the iconic Thekkinkadu Maidan in Thrissur on January 3.
Mr. Modi’s 41-minute long speech touched on hot-button issues such as the “plight of Sabarimala pilgrims”, “politicking over” Thrissur Pooram, “looting” of State-controlled temple treasuries, Triple Talaq, and gold smuggling.
Mr. Modi repeatedly used a third-person narration, positioning himself as the face of the BJP’s 2024 campaign.
In the process, Mr. Modi seemed to draw a subtle contrast with the anti-BJP INDIA Bloc, that is yet to project a Prime Ministerial face or distinct national leadership.
Mr. Modi addressed the gathering repeatedly as “mothers and sisters”. He listed the various women empowerment initiatives of the NDA government at the Centre as a manifestation of “Modi’s guarantee”.
In an understated critique of the CPI(M)-Congress “electoral compact” at the national level, Mr. Modi repeatedly referred to the ruling Left Democratic Front as an INDIA Bloc administration.
He accused the Left and Congress State governments of impeding Central projects out of “spite for Modi” , condemning them as hives of corruption and nepotism.
