Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to face voters with a 10-year progress card of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government. Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of favoring corporates and sabotaging the cooperative sector, Vijayan highlighted the alleged negative impacts of the NDA’s governance on Kerala. In a bid to engage in a political conversation ahead of the state assembly elections, Vijayan’s challenge seeks to raise questions on the NDA’s performance and priorities. The CM’s bold move creates a direct confrontation between the ruling party in Kerala and the central government. It remains to be seen how this political challenge unfolds in the coming months.
