For the assembly elections due for Tamil Nadu in the month of April-May, BJP President JP Nadda, on Saturday, affirmed on his party’s alliance with the AIADMK would continue.
Addressing a public meeting, he said, both the parties would face polls together. Prime Minister Narendra Modi facilitated projects like the defence corridor for Tamil Nadu while the state was ‘ignored’ during the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance regime, he added.
Praising Tamil as the world’s oldest language, Nadda said when the right person assumed the right place, it led to right decisions. After Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed the top office, a ‘safe destiny’ was assured for the nation and Tamil Nadu as well. Dwelling on Tamil, he said the Tamil people had a unique combination of entrepreneurship, economic and cultural ethos.
Tamil Nadu Ministers R B Udhayakumar and Sellur Raju called on Nadda, according to the party, which described it as a courtesy visit. The top leader in the core panel meet deliberated on constituencies in Tamil Nadu with winning chances and asked the state leadership to focus more on such segments.
Nadda also addressed social media volunteers and interacted with noted personalities who joined the party recently. On Sunday, the BJP chief would visit Puducherry. Former public works minister and exCongress leader from the union territory, A Namasivayam joined the Saffron party days ago in Delhi.
The BJP president, who is here on a one day visit, earlier in the day, visited the famous Meenakshi temple, garlanded a statue of freedom fighter Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar and chaired a core committee meeting of the party.
