No Modi or BJP wave in Kerala, claims Chandy



        Bangalore, Apr 14 (PTI) Kerala Chief Minister Oommen
Chandy today said BJP is involved in a person-centric election
campaign and there was neither a "Modi wave" nor "BJP wave" in
the run-up to the Lok Saba elections here.
        "...BJP is campaigning with only one slogan, they are
campaigning not for BJP but for Modi," Chandy, here to
campaign for Congress candidates with an eye on Malayalee
voters, told reporters here.
        He said, "They are involved in Modi centred, person
centred election campaign."
        Stating that there is nothing called Modi wave, he said
"the leaders of BJP are also saying that. Yesterday, BJP
leader Murali Manohar Joshi said there is no Modi wave, but he
said that there is a BJP wave."
        "BJP wave is also not a correct thing, there is neither
Modi wave nor BJP wave," the Chief Minister said.
        Chandy said Congress is quite confident about the outcome
of this election, both in the state as well as at the national
level, as it is the only party that can take forward people
belonging to all sections of society together.
        Sounding confident about the performance of Congress-led
United Democratic Front (UDF) in Kerala, he said "....I'm
confident; we at the Congress party are expecting results more
than the last elections...."
        Congress, which was the biggest gainer in 2009 lifting 13
of 17 seats contested, has candidates in 15 seats this time,
leaving two seats to key ally IUML and one each to Kerala
Congress, Socialist Janata Democratic (SJD) and RSP.
        To a question about BJP's claim that it would open its
account in Kerala this time, Chandy said "they will have to
wait for so many years for that to happen."
        Kerala with 20 Lok Sabha seats went to polls on April 10.
