 After so many terms, after winning 9 times, you have to say it louder. I was 5 years old when he first became MLA. After that, I was 5 years old when he first became MLA. So, there are many people from the nation who are very close to me. And I also like these pictures that are on the wall here, because they show his contribution. So, I would like to welcome PJ Joseph and also all the senior UDF in Congress leaders on the stage. And of course, all the Congress workers, UDF workers, brothers and sisters and friends from the media. First of all, I would like to apologize that my program got delayed and so you had to wait here for so long to listen to me. And then, I arrived here and they fed me the sweet. So, thank you for that. Now, the main problem in front of Kerala today is jobs for its youth and the economic condition that Kerala finds itself in. I was looking at some economic data and I was surprised to find that this is among the worst economic performance of India since independence. I was looking at some accounts and found that this is among the worst economic performance of India since independence. There are many reasons. I don't want to get into all of them. There is demonetization. There is a badly designed badly implemented GST. There are the farm bills, rising prices, many different things. The easy thing for me to do would be to come here and tell you what the left front has not done over the last 5-6 years. The easy thing is to come here and tell you what the left front has not done over the last 5-6 years. I could tell you that common people in Kerala can't get jobs. They have to sit in front of the assembly while left front people can get jobs in Kerala today. There are many things that I have to tell you. There are many things that I have not done. I don't want to do that. I know what they have done and what they have not done better than anybody else. I have come here to tell you a solution that we have worked on, we have thought about, we have discussed, we have calculated. And we are absolutely certain that this solution will get the economy of Kerala started, will put it among the fastest growing states in the country and will also give jobs to millions of young Keralites. among the fastest growing states in the country and will also give jobs to millions of young Carolites we believe that it is potentially a model for the rest of the country if it works in Kerala, we will implement it in the rest of the country I am going to explain the idea to you in 5 minutes you imagine a car with no fuel in the petrol tank no matter what you do to that car, it is not going to start the engine needs petrol without the petrol, you can have a beautiful car can have an engine inside, it can have the tyres, it can have everything but it is not going to start what is the petrol of the economy petrol of the economy is money in people's hands if you don't have money, you cannot buy things you cannot buy essentials forget about luxuries it means if nobody is buying things, there is no need to produce things if there is no need to produce things, factories will make nothing and if factories don't make anything, unemployment will rise so in order to start the economy of Kerala, we have to put money in your hands the moment we put money in your hands, you will start to use that money you will start to purchase things the moment you purchase things, people will start to make things you will buy a shirt from the shop, somebody will have to put the other shirt there and the moment someone has to make the shirt, the factory will start and the factory will look for somebody, a youngster to work in it now I want you to think about how much money is taken from you every day demonetisation they took money GST they take money rising prices they take money rising diesel and petrol costs they take money it's easy for you to decide where they are taking your money you can recognise it in two minutes now I want to ask you, when did they put money in your hands and this is what the congress party and the UDF are proposing we are proposing to start the Kerala economy by putting money into your hands let me take you back to the car today there is a car, the chief minister of Kerala is sitting inside the car and he is trying to start the engine there is no fuel in the car he keeps turning the key sometimes he presses the accelerator to see if it starts like that then he takes out Karl Marx's book Does Capital he has to see if he finds a solution to the problem in the book no solution so the first thing we are going to do when you elect a UDF government is we are going to pass a law called Nyaay if it starts like that then we are going to start with Nyaay it will be the biggest injection of money into the Kerala economy it will be the biggest injection of money into the Kerala economy it will be the biggest injection of money into the Kerala economy it will be the biggest injection of money into the Kerala economy it will be the biggest injection of money into the Kerala economy so, it is a year less than 72000 we are not going to stop there there are 3 other things we are going to do to inject money into the economy Three thousand rupees minimum pension. Two thousand rupees a month for home owners. Two thousand rupees a month for home makers. And MSP in coconut milk, rubber, pepper, cardamom and paddy. So farmers are guaranteed a minimum price. And we are confident that the moment we give this money into your hands, the Kerala economy will start and joblessness will disappear in this state. Please do not think that we are doing charity. That we are giving you a gift. We respect you too much to do that. We understand that the only way we can take the Kerala economy out of the hole that it is in is by using you to start the economy. We are using your energy to start the state of Kerala's economy. We are using your energy to give jobs to the youngsters of this state. And how did we find these solutions? We didn't find them in any book. No call marks for us. We didn't find them inside our organization either. We found them by talking to the people of Kerala. I have a list of commitments that we have given in our manifesto. These are things that you have told us you need. Nya is not our idea. It is yours. Minimum support price is yours. A separate budget for farmers is your idea. Subsidy for auto drivers is your idea. Reform of PSE is your idea. No bill, hospital in every district is your idea. We understand that wisdom lies with you. We understand that solutions do not lie in our organization. We understand that solutions do not lie in some theory but lie among the people of Kerala. Now I want you to ask the left front and the BJP a question. I began the speech by saying I am not going to attack them for what they have done. But I have the right to ask one question. And I would like you to ask them this question when they come campaigning to you. You say to them that the UPA has come with a concrete proposal. They are saying they are going to start the economy of Kerala by putting money into the system. They are saying that no bank account in Kerala will have less than 72000 rupees in it. They are saying that they have accounted for every rupee in the 6000 rupees a month. Can you please tell us what your plan is? Can you please tell us how you are going to get Kerala out of the economic mess that it is in today? Can you please tell us how you are going to give our children jobs? Ask them this question because you owe it to yourself and your future. You owe it to your children and your parents and I guarantee you there will be no answer. That is the difference. We have gone and we have done our work. These pictures here are pictures of solutions. These are not empty words here. This is work that your MLA has done. This is what the UDAF is suggesting. We are coming with a proposal that is going to solve this problem. We have studied it and we are sure it will work. We have put money into the rural economy and we gave India 10 years of 9% growth. People criticised us and said that they are spoiling poor people and they are ruining them and giving them bad habits. Many people have gone to the MLA. Many have gone to the MLA. We said no. We believe in the people of India and we are going to do this. The Prime Minister, student of Lok Sabha and abused Mandreka, he said he is going to leave it as a matter of fact. He said he is going to leave it as a monument to UPA's failures. But today he does not have the guts to say that it was Mandreka who saved India during Covid. So we understand how to do this and we are going to do it successfully in Kerala. We have also done another revolutionary thing. And you will see the impact of this decision after the election. We are proposing a new imagination for this state. And so 55% of our candidates are youngsters. And youngsters from all walks of life. We have a 27 year old girl. We have a young candidate whose parents are Mandreka workers. Candidate after candidate is a youngster with a completely different way of thinking. And this is an investment for Kerala's future. But 45% of our candidates are experienced. And here is the most experienced. He is the most experienced candidate probably in the state. He is a dairy farmer so he understands agriculture. He has been a minister, home ministry, irrigation, revenue. He has been elected 9 times meaning 9 times you have believed in him. There has to be something in the man. Otherwise people struggle to win one or two elections in a row. Here is a person who is 1-9 and is going to win 10. So I am confident that you are going to elect him for the 10th time. Once again it is night time. I apologize for coming late. And I would like to thank all of you for coming here. Thank you very much.
