Kochi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said the upcoming Kerala assembly polls are not merely for changing the government but to improve the state’s future.

Shah, at a public meeting in Kunnathunadu constituency here, noted that NDA vote share in Kerala has increased since the 2014 Lok Sabha polls and said it is time for a government of the BJP-led front in the state.

He wished the Christian community on Easter and called on them to support NDA to form a government in Kerala. The Home Minister further said that justice for all and appeasement of none is the stand of the BJP-led NDA across the country.

Taking a dig at Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan, he said the Marxist leader has started a new practice of changing names. Shah said Vijayan changes names of all centrally funded projects in the state to take credit for them.

Assembly polls will be held in Kerala on April 9.
