Kerala disillusioned with LDF, UDF, looking to BJP-NDA with great hope: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday (February 12, 2026) said Kerala was disillusioned with the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) and was looking to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led alliance with great hope. He said the party’s elected representatives were committed to working at the grassroots to address the people’s challenges in the State.

The Prime Minister met the Kerala BJP panchayat, municipality, and corporation members at his official residence. “At 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, hosted Kerala BJP Panchayat members, Municipality members and members of corporations from across Kerala, including the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, where the BJP was blessed with a historic mandate,” Mr. Modi said through his X handle.

“Discussed a wide range of subjects, notably ways to deepen the BJP’s connect with the people, further our good governance agenda and further ‘Ease of Living’. It is clear that Kerala is fed up of LDF and UDF and is looking to BJP-NDA with great hope. Therefore, elected members from BJP-NDA will work at the grassroots and address the challenges faced by the people,” said Mr. Modi.

‘Selfless efforts’

“In the meeting with Kerala BJP elected representatives, paid homage to every Karyakarta who has worked hard to build the party over the years. It is due to their selfless efforts that we have grown across the State. In the coming times, the BJP will grow even further in Kerala,” he said.

The delegation of newly elected BJP councillors of the Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation, along with other civic body representatives from the State, led by Mayor V. V. Rajesh are in Delhi for a three-day administrative and governance skills development programme. It is designed to “empower local leaders with first-hand knowledge of national democratic mechanisms”.
