New Delhi, April 9 As Kerala votes to elect its new government, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday urged the people of the state to vote for one that listens, cares, and delivers.
In a post on X, Kharge said that Kerala's strength lies in its unity in diversity, and asked them not to allow that strength to be weakened through division or distraction.
"My dear people of Kerala, you have always stood for education, dignity, secular values, and social justice. You have shown the nation what true progressive thinking means. Now, once again, the responsibility lies in your hands.
"Over the past years, you have faced rising unemployment, financial distress, and growing uncertainty. Farmers, plantation workers, youth, and small business owners have all asked a simple question: 'Where is the relief? Where is the opportunity?'" Kharge said.
Noting that Kerala's strength has always been its unity in diversity, he said, "Do not let division or distraction weaken that strength."
"I appeal to all to come out in large numbers and vote for a government that listens, cares, and delivers. Vote for justice. Vote for a better Kerala!" the Congress chief said.
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also said that it is time to change and vote for the UDF.
"To each one of you in Kerala, I say from the heart, you deserve a government that listens to you, understands your struggles, and works day and night for your well-being, not for itself, not for corruption, and not merely to stay in power, but to put you first.
"It is time to choose change. And UDF is that change," she said in a post on X.
The counting of votes will be done on May 4.
