"kerala-elections"

In a series of tweets, Modi thanked the voters for supporting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)

Kerala had witnessed a fierce campaign in the run up to the polls by the ruling CPI(M) led Left Democratic Front (LDF), Opposition Congress led United Democratic Front (UDF) and the BJP led NDA.

The ruling LDF is hoping to retain power for a second consecutive term breaking the state's four-decades-old trend of alternating between the UDF every five year.

Shah said the people of the state see BJP as an alternative for the opposition UDF and ruling LDF.
