Both are marred by corruption and communalism, differing only in degree,” PM Modi said while addressing a rally in poll-bound Kerala’s Palakkad.

The answer is clear: it has ended up in the pockets of the LDF,” he alleged.

“Now, the trust of Kerala’s youth is in—BJP and NDA. The affection of Kerala’s women is for—BJP and NDA. The love of Kerala’s farmers is for—BJP and NDA,” he added.
