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.
