Modi hopeful of BJP getting seats in double-digit in Kerala

Deccan Chronicle  

Thiruvanathapuram: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday expressed the hope that the people of Kerala would give the BJP-led NDA seats in double digits in the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls. Modi said in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP-NDA combine had secured vote percentage in double digits and this time around the people's mandate would translate into seats. Modi said in 2019 the country gave a slogan “phir ek baar Modi sarkar” and this time everyone is saying “abki baar 400 paar.” He claimed that the opposition parties had already conceded defeat and their only agenda now is “abuse Modi.” The prime minister said the mood of the people in Kerala indicates that it would be easy for BJP to achieve the 370 seats target. The communists are now also advising the Congress Prince to stay out of Kerala, he said in an obvious reference to CPI’s recent demand to shift Rahul Gandhi from Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency.
