During a BJP election rally in poll-bound Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paused his speech to warmly acknowledge a child holding his picture and a woman offering a book, promising personal responses and drawing applause from the crowd. Modi used the occasion to criticise opposition parties and urge voters for change in the upcoming Kerala Assembly elections, underlining the BJP’s development agenda. The rally also featured the launch of multiple infrastructure and connectivity projects, including key initiatives and new train services, aiming to boost regional growth and voter confidence.
