Modi also targeted both the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the United Democratic Front (UDF), alleging growing public dissatisfaction with their governance in the state.The Prime Minister is expected to transit through Coimbatore en route to Keralam, prompting heightened security arrangements across key locations. Authorities have implemented elaborate measures to ensure smooth movement and safety during the high-profile visit.Senior police officials said multiple areas in and around Coimbatore have been placed under high-security classification, with strict restrictions on vehicular and pedestrian movement. Drone operations have been banned in sensitive zones, including Neelambur, Chinniyampalayam, Mathampalayam, Ettimadai, and Walayar.
Key arterial stretches such as Avinashi Road, Peelamedu, Kalapatti, and Singanallur have been declared “Red Zones,” with intensified surveillance, checkpoints, and round-the-clock monitoring in place. Around 5,000 security personnel have been deployed as part of a three-tier security grid, including at Coimbatore International Airport and adjoining areas.Advanced surveillance systems have also been activated to monitor the situation in real time. Modi is expected to arrive in Coimbatore by air before proceeding to Keralam, where he will campaign for NDA candidates ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections.The visit is being seen as a significant outreach effort by the BJP-led NDA to strengthen its presence in Kerala, a state traditionally dominated by the LDF and UDF.
