Referring to the big crowd at a party rally, Modi sought to link it with its increasing strength in a state where it has mostly been a minor player before emerging as a force to reckon by garnering near 15 per cent votes in the last assembly polls.
"In Kerala, workers of Bharatiya Jan Sangh and BJP have sacrificed their lives. Their martyrdom inspires party workers in the rest of the country. Their sacrifice and sufferings will not go in vain," Modi said.
Hitting out at the CPI(M), Amit Shah said the attack against BJP workers is not new and they are facing violent attack even in the Chief Minister's constituency.
"They are thinking that they would be able to stop the growth of BJP in Kerala through violent attacks. They are wrong. BJP will further gather strength despite such attacks," he said.
Referring to the party's performance in the May 16 Assembly poll, the BJP president claimed he was confident that in the next polls in Kerala, the party would form government.
