'LDF will be out of power': PM Modi says corruption is a key obstacle to Kerala's growth

Asserting that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will emerge victorious in the upcoming assembly elections in Kerala, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that the countdown for the removal of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) has started in the coastal state. He said the karyakartas of the BJP have signaled a strong mood that Kerala is ready to bid a farewell to the LDF government.Addressing an election rally in Thiruvalla, the prime minister also took a dig at the United Democratic Front (UDF), saying the Congress-led alliance never paid attention to development in Kerala. According to him, his government has spent more than what was allotted by the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government at the Centre from 2004-14 for Kerala's development.
