Artifical Intelligence to project push to multiple visits: PM Modi, BJP spare little in South push

From holding roadshows, rallies and meetings to inaugurating development projects worth thousands of crores, physically and virtually, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made an unprecedented outreach to the five southern states in recent weeks, keeping in mind his ambitious target of winning 370 seats for the BJP and over 400 seats for the NDA in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Over the past 10 days, PM Modi has visited all five southern states – Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana – multiple times. On Tuesday, Modi was at Palakkad in Kerala after which he addressed a rally at Salem in Tamil Nadu.
