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

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.
