Kerala Yuvam Conference: PM Modi Says 'BJP And Youth Share Same Vision For India's Future'; Criticises Left And Congress

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's two-day visit to Kerala has begun with his arrival in Kochi this evening (24 April). After a nearly 2 kilometre long roadshow where hundreds of people lined up to see him, PM Modi addressed the YUVAM conclave, organised by a group called Vibrant Youth For Modifying Kerala (VYMK).

Speaking about the BJP's policy towards the youth he said, "Today, the BJP and the youth of the country share the same wavelength and vision. We bring reforms and the youth brings results. It is a strong partnership between the government and the youth. BJP has made this era, the era of youth-led development."

Further, he said "The previous governments did scams in every sector. On the other hand, the BJP government is creating opportunities in every sector. Through the Aatmanirbhar campaign, the youth have been afforded opportunities."

Calling India's youth population as a treasure, he said that it is because of them that India is the fastest growing economy in the world.

"Earlier, people used to think that nothing will change in India. However, today our country can change the entire world. Today's Aatmanirbhar India talks about Digital India. Once upon a time, India was one of the 'Fragile Five' countries. However, today India is known as the fastest-growing economy. It is because of the youth, and therefore, I strongly believe in the youth of my country," PM Modi said.

"On one hand, we are working hard to increase the exports of India. On the other hand, in Kerala, some are working hard to smuggle gold. The youth of Kerala are very well aware that the people in power are playing with their future."

"Our govt is organizing Rozgar Melas to give permanent jobs in the govt. In every BJP-ruled state, the campaign for giving jobs is going on. However, the present Kerala govt isn't focused on giving jobs to the youth. The youth of Kerala can never forget this attitude of the Kerala govt."
