Prime Minister Narendra Modi<\/a> on Thursday held a meeting with BJP Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha lawmakers from the southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.<\/p>\n

In the interaction, the Prime Minister underlined the renewed emphasis the BJP intends to place on the southern region, where its electoral footprint remains limited. Karnataka, one of the party\u2019s oldest strongholds, is the only southern state where the BJP has consistently performed well. PM Modi is learnt to have told MPs that winning both the \u201chearts and votes” of the South is crucial, especially at a time when the party has been sweeping elections across the country.<\/p>\n

The PM praised the work being done by the Andhra Pradesh government, led by the TDP-BJP alliance under Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. He reportedly highlighted that Naidu\u2019s efforts have ensured a steady flow of investments into the state.<\/p>\n

On Telangana\u2014long considered a key target state for the BJP\u2014he acknowledged that the 2023 assembly elections were a missed opportunity. Despite the decline of the BRS, the BJP has not yet emerged as the main opposition. The Prime Minister is understood to have remarked that AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi enjoys greater visibility and influence in the state\u2019s opposition space\u2014an area where the BJP should ideally be asserting itself.<\/p>\n

As he often does in meetings with MPs, PM Modi stressed the importance of being consistently active on social media, calling it a powerful tool of communication. Owaisi\u2019s online presence, he noted, should serve as a benchmark for MPs to emulate.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister also reviewed the Centre\u2019s development initiatives in Kerala and Tamil Nadu\u2014both headed for elections next year. He advised MPs to prominently communicate the message that the Union Government\u2019s development work in these states has been undertaken without bias or discrimination.<\/p>\n

PM Modi also referenced the BJP\u2019s breakthrough in Kerala during the 2024 elections, where Suresh Gopi secured a historic victory and now serves as a Union minister.<\/p>\n

Union ministers, including Suresh Gopi and Dr L Murugan, were among those who met the Prime Minister in his Parliament office on Thursday. Over the past week, the PM has also held similar meetings with BJP MPs from poll-bound Assam and West Bengal, as well as from Karnataka and Maharashtra.<\/p>\n
