Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to Kochi and the launch of development projects totaling around Rs 10,800 crore have garnered positive responses from BJP workers and professionals. The focus on infrastructure and economic growth during the visit has instilled optimism for a “Vikasit Keralam” among many. BJP workers expressed satisfaction with the Prime Minister’s presence, believing it would impact the upcoming state Assembly elections positively.
The visit also highlighted the central government’s support for farmers, especially those engaged in animal husbandry, as noted by BJP worker Latha. However, criticism arose from BJP Panchayat member Jagesh, who pointed out the absence of the state’s Chief Minister and ministers at the event. Jagesh accused them of politicizing development projects and taking credit for initiatives completed by the Centre.
Professionals who engaged with the Prime Minister emphasized the significance of development in their interactions. Career expert Dr. Venkataraman discussed education’s future and Kerala’s development prospects with PM Modi, finding his insights inspiring and hopeful for Kerala’s progress. Similarly, CISF veteran Dr. Ramanantha Rao highlighted development as the primary focus of discussions, with a substantial amount allocated for various ongoing development programs in the state.
Prime Minister Modi’s activities in Kochi included inaugurating and laying the foundation stone for multiple projects aimed at enhancing infrastructure, energy, and industrial growth in Kerala.
