Suresh Gopi's Bold Remarks: Linking Thrissur Pooram to Trump's Victory

Union Minister Suresh Gopi drew an improbable comparison between BJP's win in Thrissur and Trump’s U.S. Presidential victory, suggesting Congress' pooram disruption claims were baseless. He humorously suggested Kerala Police investigate Trump’s election tactics, asserting that wins were due to public support. His remarks came during the Wayanad by-election campaign.

On Saturday, Union Minister Suresh Gopi criticized Congress' claims that BJP's triumph in Thrissur was due to disrupting traditional festivities by sarcastically comparing it to Donald Trump's U.S. Presidential win.

Speaking in Wayanad, Gopi, Minister of State for Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Tourism, challenged Congress to investigate which 'poorams' Trump disrupted to secure his election victory.

The Union Minister underscored that both victories were driven by the public's desire for change. His remarks coincided with campaigning for BJP's Wayanad candidate, Navya Haridas, in the upcoming by-election against LDF's Sathyan Mokeri and UDF's Priyanka Gandhi.
