Kochi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that the BJP was the only party in India with a proven track record of speedy development and a clear vision for the future.

The prime minister was speaking at a party meeting of around 6,000 in-charges of ‘Shakti Kendras’, each comprising two to three booth-level areas, at Marine Drive here.

Speaking at the event, he highlighted the diverse initiatives implemented by his government to enhance the well-being of citizens.

He said according to a recent report, in the last nine years around 25 crore people have been pulled out of poverty in India.

“This indicates that the direction that we have taken for a developed nation is the correct one,” the prime minister contended.

“The BJP is the only party in India with a proven track record of speedy development and clear vision for the future,” he added.

The prime minister also urged party workers to convey to people that the track record of the LDF and UDF in Kerala was synonymous with a history of corruption.

Modi also referred to the welcome he received on Tuesday on his arrival in the state and said that he was overawed by the love and affection the people of Kerala have shown to him.

He said that people blessed him on his arrival at Kochi on Tuesday and also on the route to the Triprayar Sree Ramaswamy Temple this morning.

The prime minister was on a two-day visit to Kerala and would return to Delhi later in the evening.
