Rahul Gandhi, addressing rallies in Thrissur and Palakkad, criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, calling them arrogant and accusing them of a "king" mentality. He alleged that the UDF is facing a combined force from the LDF and BJP in the upcoming elections. He also criticized Prime Minister Modi for not addressing the Sabarimala gold theft issue, claiming that he is protecting the Chief Minister and the CPI(M). He further accused the BJP of targeting anyone who opposes them and criticized the LDF's campaign slogan, referring to billboards featuring the Chief Minister. He also criticized the BJP's and RSS's ideology of ruling over people, and warned of the potential consequences of such a mindset. Gandhi also raised concerns about global conflicts and corruption, and highlighted the Congress-led UDF's promises, including free travel for women, financial assistance for college-going girls, increased social welfare pensions, health insurance coverage, and interest-free loans for young entrepreneurs.
