KOZHIKODE: Former Prime Minister
H D Deve Gowda on Sunday claimed that
Prime Minister
Narendra Modi's image was "diminishing" each day. He asserted that the NDA's failure in the Assembly polls in Delhi and Bihar proved that he was "no longer powerful".
"The situation for
BJP will be pathetic in the five states where assembly elections are being held. To save face, Modi is making visits to Kerala", he claimed.
The Janata Dal (Secular) leader was speaking at an election meeting at Vadakara seeking support for the opposition
LDF
candidate C K Nanu.
JD(S) is contesting the polls in Kerala as part of LDF.
He called Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy's claim that the fight was only between the
UDF
and BJP "misleading" and said there is no fight in any constituency without the LDF.
"
Congress and NDA are trying to split secular votes," he claimed.
Alleging that there was "rampant corruption" during the five-year UDF rule, Gowda said only LDF can put an end to it.
