As part of the “Snehayatra” initiative, hundreds of party members visited nearly 1 lakh Christian homes throughout Kerala on Easter, according to BJP leader Prakash Javadekar on Wednesday.

Javadekar said, “We have initiated ‘Snehayatra’ which is envisaged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Thousands of BJP ‘karyakartas’ visited around one lakh Christian houses in Kerala on Easter. There is Vishu coming up this month, let’s call our Christian friends to our houses, and give them ‘Kaineettam’ and ‘Payasam’. Then on Ramsan, go to muslim houses and wish them, Eid Mubarak.”

“Both the fronts (LDF and UDF) are moving ahead in Kerala by overcoming all their administrative failures. The minority vote bank is now reeling. Left and right fronts are looting the public. There are only subtle technical differences between the two fronts. They are fighting a shadow war. Both fronts destroyed Kerala. Kerala now has the most corruption cases, anti-women practices and also presence of anti-religious forces”, added Surendran.

He further stated that BJP workers visiting Christian homes were concerned about the state’s left and right fronts. “Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s son-in-law (PA Muhammed Riyas, Minister of Public Works) took a stand against this.” “The state government is attempting to keep the vote bank by making concessions,” he claimed.

“The Christian-BJP relationship is not something you can quickly dismiss. BJP has started a strong relationship. This ‘Snehayatra’ will be carried forward even stronger. The visit is not aimed at any religious group. Muslims also have a crucial role in it. Muslims are only seen as a vote bank by LDF and UDF. But it’s not that way for us”, Surendran added.

“Only the Modi government has helped Kerala. We challenge Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to any discussion on that. We will enumerate the project share and put it in front of the people. The state government tried to prevent the central government’s schemes from reaching the people. Pinarayi Vijayan is responsible if Kerala’s Jaljeevan Mission of the Centre fails. Modi government’s interventions in each field will be implemented in Kerala. Plans will be made for the long term”, Surendran said.

Former Union Minister Prakash Javadekar, BJP State President K Surendran, Minister of State for External Affairs and Parliamentary Affairs V Muraleedharan, former Mizoram Governor Kummanam Rajasekharan, and former Union Minister for State O Rajagopal were present at the meeting.
