PM Modi To Visit Kerala On March 15 And 17

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Kerala's Palakkad on March 15 to campaign for the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) candidates for the Lok Sabha polls, party sources said here on Monday.

Following this, on March 17, PM Modi will undertake another visit to Pathanamthitta to rally support for Anil K Antony, the BJP candidate and son of Congress stalwart A K Antony, sources said.

Party sources said that PM Modi will conduct a massive roadshow upon his arrival in Palakkad.

Although there won't be any public meetings, preparations for the Palakkad event are currently underway, they said. During his Palakkad visit, PM Modi is expected to focus his efforts on campaigning for three National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidates contesting from Palakkad, Alathur, and Ponnani Lok Sabha constituencies, they said.

The official social media pages of the BJP's Palakkad and Pathanamthitta district committees have announced PM Modi's fourth and fifth visits to the state within a span of three months. In January, PM Modi visited the state twice, and he made an additional visit in February, attending both official engagements and party-related functions.
