PM Modi endorses film 'The Kerala Story', slams Congress for opposing it
Says movie exposes ugly truth of terrorism
In a recent speech in Ballari, Karnataka, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has strongly criticized the opposition Congress party for opposing the film 'The Kerala Story', which he said is based on a terror conspiracy. The Prime Minister alleged that the Congress party has succumbed to terrorism for the sake of its vote bank and has shielded terrorism in the past.
PM Modi stated that the film exposes the ugly truth of terrorism and the design of terrorists, and it is alarming to see that the Congress party is opposing such a film that exposes the reality of terrorism. He further added that in the atmosphere of terror, the industry, IT industry, agriculture, farming and the glorious culture of Karnataka will be destroyed if Congress is voted to power.
The Prime Minister's speech comes in the context of the upcoming Karnataka Assembly elections, where the BJP is seeking to retain power in the state.
The Karnataka elections are crucial for both the BJP and the Congress party as the state is considered to be a gateway to the south. Political pundits believe the outcome of the elections in Karnataka will have a significant impact on the political landscape of the country, especially in the southern region.

BJP MLA seen wiping face with flag during Tiranga Yatra in Jaipur, Congress slams act
Jaipur, May 15 (PTI): A BJP legislator was seen wiping his face with the national flag during a Tiranga Yatra held in Jaipur on Thursday, drawing sharp criticism from the opposition Congress, which termed the act "disrespectful".
The incident took place during the march taken out in honour of the Indian armed forces following the success of Operation Sindoor.
Balmukund Acharya, the MLA from Hawa Mahal assembly constituency, was seen using the tricolour to wipe his face as the rally passed through crowded markets and historic locations in the city.
A video of the act surfaced on social media, prompting criticism from Congress leaders, who accused the BJP of politicising patriotism while showing "utter disregard" for national symbols.
However, after realising his mistake, the MLA almost immediately switched to a regular piece of cloth to clean his face. Nevertheless, the moment has already drawn attention.
Reacting to the video, Congress leaders said on X, "Such behaviour during a rally meant to honour the Army and the national flag was 'insensitive' and 'disrespectful'."
There was no immediate comment from the BJP on the matter.
The Tiranga Yatra, which began from Albert Hall and concluded at Badi Chaupad, witnessed participation from Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, Deputy CM Diya Kumari, BJP state president Madan Rathore and several senior party leaders.
