Addressing BJP supporters at Kasaragod, his first venue of the day, Modi slammed Congress and CPM over their tie-up in West Bengal in the assembly elections there.

"Is West Bengal in India? Is Kerala in India? Then why are speeches of Left and Congress leaders different in both states? Can people who speak in different voices in Kerala and West Bengal be trusted by the people. This is insulting people's sensibilities," Modi said.

"Adjustment politics of the Congress and Left have to be understood. This is politics of compromise and corruption," Modi added.

ModiIn a bid to woo farmers in the state, Modi said, "Congress and Left are not concerned about agriculture growth in the state. Their priorities are different. Our government's Fasal Bima Yojana benefits the farmers and helps the farmer in times of need. We have dedicated this scheme to the farmers of India."

"This election is to safeguard the interests of the youth of Kerala. Do not think this is only about who the next MLA is," the prime minister said.

Trying to strike a chord with the audience, Modi said, "When anybody is Kerala experiences any trouble, we are pained in Delhi."

Citing the release of Tamil Nadu priest Fr Alexis Premkumar, Modi said, “Father Prem dedicated his life to Lord Christ, the Taliban kidnapped him. For months, nobody knew about his whereabouts. We undertook several efforts and father Prem returned home.”

Attacking the CPM-led LDF, Modi said, “Due to politics of violence so many of our Karyakartas have been killed. They were only serving people. From Kasaragod, I want everyone to know...a land known as God's own country is witnessing killing of innocent people by communists.”

“For Kerala to shine, politics of violence and corruption have to be replaced by the politics of development, which BJP stands for,” PM said and concluded his speech seeking votes for NDA candidates in Kerala.

Modi reached the venue in Kasaragod around 10.30 am by helicopter. He began his speech by addressing the gathering in Malayalam amid loud applause. BJP leaders and the NDA candidates of Kannur and Kasaragod districts took part in the meet.

Modi is day dreanming of ruling Kerala to misguide people and create communal disturbance. Kerala people of peace lovers and people from different religion are leaving cordially and peacefully. I requesgt all the keralites to discard the call from this hate monger and try to live in peace. Hate mongers from northern part of india are trying to divide and rule in the south. We should kick them out. Kerala should always be bjp free and this only will lead to peace in the region.
