Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured Indians of safety amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia, appealing to people not to pay attention to rumours or panic over LPG supply disruptions.
Modi, who was on a visit to poll-bound Tamil Nadu and Kerala, accused the Congress of making provocative statements and asserted that the government was committed to ferrying Indians to safety.
He also hailed the achievements of the Union government, accused the two state governments of corruption, and said the National Democratic Alliance will do well in the upcoming assembly elections.
Modi urged people to remain alert and only spread correct, verified information, as the Congress and the Left ecosystems were creating panic and fear.
In Kerala, Modi claimed credit for tweaking the name of the state to 'Keralam', unveiled a slew of development projects worth around ₹10,000 crore, and appealed to voters to choose a BJP-led NDA government instead of the repeat Left Democratic Front-United Democratic Front cycle of regimes.
He also slammed the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam rule in Tamil Nadu, saying that people wanted a government that worked for every family, and not just for one family.
