Lok Sabha elections: PM Modi to address rallies in central and south Kerala today

April 15, 2024

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to address public rallies in Kerala on Monday as part of the BJP’s electoral campaign for the Lok Sabha elections.

PM Modi will take part in the public meeting at Kunnamangalam in the Alathur constituency in Thrissur District. He will attend the election campaign for NDA candidates TN Sarasu and Suresh Gopi, contesting in Alathur and Thrissur, respectively.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP had fielded actor-turned-politician Suresh Gopi from Thrissur and recorded a 28.2 percent vote share, as against its 2014 candidate K. P. Sreesan’s 11.15 percent.

After that, the PM will reach Kattakkada in Thiruvananthapuram District, where he will campaign for V Muraleedharan and Rajeev Chandrashekar, the two union ministers contesting under the NDA banner from Attingal and Thiruvananthapuram constituencies, respectively.

All 20 Lok Sabha seats in the state go to the polls in the second phase on April 16.

In the Assembly polls, the party won only once from Nemam in Thiruvananthapuram district, where O Rajagopal had won in 2016. This seat has been the only one among the 20 Lok Sabha seats where the party had managed to come in second in 2014.
