Live: From 'Land of Tourism', Kerala has become 'Nursery of Terrorism', says Modi at Kasaragod(Kerala) rally

Kasaragod (Kerala): Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi today expressed concern over the fact that the southern state of Kerala is fast becoming a nursery of terrorism.Addressing an election rally in Kasaragod of Kerala, Modi said, “Kerala that was better known for tourism has now become nursery of terrorism. Land of tourism is getting converted into nursery of terrorism. It was considered a peaceful state but due to UDF-LDF this is changing.”Modi also raised the poor state of affairs of farmers and killing of Indian fishermen by the Italian marines.“Farmers are suffering due to Endosulfan. But the Centre did nothing. They neither took any step against the company nor for farmers. We have lot many fishermen. Technology can really help fishermen. We can help them earn more. Fishermen were killed by Italian Marines. Govt did nothing. Do PM, Kerala CM, Defence Minister have the courage to answer my questions on the killing of fishermen?” said Modi.“I have a simple question in what jail are the Italian Marines, who killed our fishermen, put up? Today if you think Modi is bad for speaking for Kerala's fishermen then so be it. I will keep speaking on their behalf,” added Modi.Modi once again objected to the statement made by A K Antony in parliament when Indian soldiers were beheaded by Pakistani army.“What did Mr. AK Antony say in Parliament when our soldiers were killed? What you said made people in Pakistan happy. Mr. Antony, you are our Defence Minister, at least do something for us. I have some serious questions to PM, Sonia ji, Defence Minister on issue of India's security,” said modi.After Kerala rally, Modi left for Karnataka where he will be addressing 4 rallies in Karnataka.Modi will be addressing rallies in Koppal, Bagalkot, Mysore and Bangalore in Karnataka.Here we are giving you the live updates of Modi's rallies:12:20pm- Modi concludes his speech with chants of ‘Vande Mataram'.12:15am- Modi: I have come here with a message to serve you. We have seen their friendly fights. Now we want you to put your trust in us. Please vote for BJP and help BJP win 300 seats this time.12:10am- Modi: Delhi is more interested in Defence Deals and not Defence Power of the nation that explains the problems we are facing. Across the entire nation, the Congress tally will not cross 3 digits.12:05am- Modi: Have you taken any steps to increase ammunition that is required for our tanks? Why did the Navy chief resign? What is happening to the naval ships? 11:59am- Modi: What did Mr. AK Antony say in Parliament when our soldiers were killed? What you said made people in Pakistan happy. Mr. Antony, you are our Defence Minister, at least do something for us. I have some serious questions to PM, Sonia ji, Defence Minister on issue of India's security.11:55am- Modi: I have a simple question in what jail are the Italian Marines, who killed our fishermen, put up? Today if you think Modi is bad for speaking for Kerala's fishermen then so be it. I will keep speaking on their behalf. 11:53am- Modi: Farmers are suffering due to Endosulfan. But the Centre did nothing. They neither took any step against the company nor for farmers. We have lot many fishermen. Technology can really help fishermen. We can help them earn more. Fishermen were killed by Italian Marines. Govt did nothing. Do PM, Kerala CM, Defence Minister have the courage to answer my questions on the killing of fishermen?11:50am- Modi: Are the lives of those working abroad safe? Their passports are snatched, they don't get leaves and they are exploited by their employers. Kerala's youth is facing problems and there is a very big Minister from Kerala in Delhi. Are those youth residing abroad getting help from him? 11:48am- Modi: If you look at the top 10 states that lead in crime against women then you'll not find a single BJP ruled state. Kerala's youth is looking for jobs but the state cannot offer jobs to its youth.11:45am- Modi: Kerala that was better known for tourism has now become nursery of terrorism. Land of tourism is getting converted into nursery of terrorism. It was considered a peaceful state but due to UDF-LDF this is changing.11:42am- Modi: Kerala's tourism sector has stagnated. There is so much scope for it to grow but nothing is happening on this front.11:40am- Modi: Congress is like a watermelon. It is green from outside and red from inside. And the Left carries red flag only. Kerala is blessed with such an extensive coastline. It can provide salt to the entire nation if it so desires. Kerala can contribute a lot to the world- things like herbal medicines. 11:37am- Modi: This is God's Own Country but youth from Kerala are leaving the state. What is forcing them to do so? Reason behind Kerala decline is the friendly match between UDF and LDF. They have an unwritten agreement - UDF then LDF then UDF then LDF. 11:33am- Modi: No one imagined that even in this part of Kerala there is so much enthusiasm for the BJP rally. I came here recently and I was touched by the affection shown by the people. I was convinced that good days for Kerala are on way.11:30am- Modi begins his speech in Kasaragod8:00am- Police personnel in large numbers deployed at the rally venue in Kasaragod of Kerala.
