THE BIG STORY

Modi launches projects in Kerala, visits temple

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday drew a contrast between his government and the earlier United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, saying while the latter was weak and unstable and allowed terrorist attacks to hurt investment, his administration was built infrastructure such as ports and ship-repair clusters to make India a global maritime power. He also exhorted Bharatiya Janata Party cadre in Kerala to remind voters about the difference.

Modi made the comments on the second day of his two-day visit to southern India where he inaugurated three major shipping and energy projects in Kochi, visited the Guruvayur temple and addressed a convention of party workers. This is the second visit of the PM to Kerala since the turn of the year, after he traveLled to the state as well as Lakshwadeep and Tamil Nadu on January 2 and 3. Read more.
