‘Double-engine government’ needed for Kerala’s development, says Union Minister Suresh Gopi

Union Minister Suresh Gopi has said that “a double-engine government” with the BJP in power in Kerala is essential for the State's development.

He was speaking to reporters after visiting Kollam Junction railway station along with MP N.K. Premachandran to assess the possibility of preserving heritage buildings at the station.

Kerala will definitely get an AIIMS, says Union Minister Suresh Gopi

“I have only one prayer to the people to look into the benefits of the double-engine government received by other States. The exception is Tamil Nadu, which, even without a double-engine government, manages to bring everything it deserves and provide it to the public despite rivals ruling at the Centre,” he said on Friday.

The Thrissur MP said, “For the development of Kerala, there should either be a BJP government or a situation where the BJP can influence governance,” he said.
