“Viksit Keralam Sammelan” in Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala)
Union Home & Cooperation Minister Shri Amit Shah inaugurated the office of Kerala BJP State in Thiruvananthapuram and addressed the “Viksit Keralam Sammelan” in Kerala on 12 July 2025. During his address, Shri Shah highlighted the developmental achievements of the past 11 years under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and encouraged Kerala BJP’s Karyakartas to work towards fulfilling the vision of a ‘Viksit Keralam’ and a ‘Viksit Bharat’. During the event, Kerala BJP President Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Union Minister Shri George Kurian, Kerala BJP in-charge Shri Prakash Javadekar, co-in-charge Smt. Aparajita Sarangi and other senior leaders were present.
Shri Shah remarked that for other parties, an office may simply be a place to work, but for the Bharatiya Janata Party, the office is as sacred as a temple. Without an office, the party’s ideology cannot reach its karyakarta, and without ideology, karyakastas cannot even be imagined, and without karyakarta, the BJP has no existence.
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has presented the vision of a Viksit Bharat before 140 crore citizens, and the path to a Viksit Bharat goes through a Viksit Keralam. Without the progress of the powerful southern states, the vision of a Viksit Bharat is simply not possible. The great state of Kerala, known for blending and advancing multiple cultures, will now become the core objective of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s vision for a Viksit Keralam. The foundation of this vision rests on three key principles of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi: first, governance without corruption; second, no discrimination in the implementation of government schemes; and third, a commitment to Kerala’s development- rising above vote bank politics.
Union Home Minister said both the Communist Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party are cadre-based organisations, but there is a significant difference between the two. For the Communist Party, the development of its cadre is more important than the development of Kerala, whereas for the BJP, Viksit Keralam is more important than cadre growth.
The people of Kerala have given both the LDF and UDF ample opportunities over the years, but what they delivered was violence, corruption, vote-bank appeasement, and shelter to anti-national elements. When the activities of the PFI escalated, it was Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi who imposed a ban on the organisation. Shri Shah questioned why, despite having the same powers under the relevant laws, the Kerala government never banned the PFI. As PFI expanded its operations across the country, it was the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi who took action, banning the organisation and sending anti-national elements behind bars.
Shri Shah appealed that in the upcoming local body elections, the BJP and NDA will contest 21,000 seats, with a target of securing more than 25% of the vote share. Therefore, from today until November, all BJP Karyakartas must dedicate their full efforts toward the mission of a ‘Viksit Keralam’ and work to strengthen the NDA.
Highlights
• Both LDF and UDF have turned Kerala into a haven for violence, corruption, vote-bank politics, appeasement, and anti-national elements.
• For the Communist Party, cadre development is more important than Kerala’s development, whereas for BJP, ‘Viksit Keralam’ is the top priority.
• The track record of LDF and UDF is filled with corruption; the gold smuggling scam in Kerala is India’s biggest ‘state-sponsored’ scam.
• The time has come to fulfil the dream envisioned by hundreds of BJP karyakartas who were killed by leftist goons — to bring BJP to power in Kerala.
