Lakshadweep’s population is predominantly Muslim, which is important ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, and it is strategically placed near a nation that leans towards China.
On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted photos from his trip to Lakshadweep, where he went snorkeling, spoke with the locals, and took in the breathtaking vistas from the immaculate coastline. He tweeted, “I am still in awe of the stunning beauty of its (Lakshadweep) islands and the incredible warmth of its people,” along with a few images that quickly gained widespread attention.
Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi made a stop in the union territory during his jam-packed two-day tour to the South, which also included stops in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. In Lakshadweep, he declared several development projects worth over Rs 1,150 crore to be launched and lay the foundation stone for them. He also enumerated other projects that his government had done in the last ten years.
As PM Modi marveled at the breathtaking scenery of Lakshadweep, he promoted the archipelago as an adventurer’s must-see. This trip marked the start of the BJP’s ‘Mission South’ ahead of the elections and his first tour of the year.
Echoing Prime Minister Modi’s promotion of Lakshadweep as a tourist destination, Home Minister Amit Shah lauded the archipelago’s “mesmerising beaches, blue water lagoons and much more”.
“Lakshadweep has enormous potential to grow into a popular travel destination worldwide. “Thank you to Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji for advancing Lakshadweep. This will undoubtedly increase tourism and the local economy, raising the standard of living for the people there,” tweeted Amit Shah.
But there’s more to PM Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep than meets the eye.
