PM Modi Continues road shows in Tamil Nadu and Chennai
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s campaign for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections is in full swing. With less than a fortnight left for the first phase of elections, PM Modi is leaving no stone unturned to connect with voters across the country. In this article, we will focus on his Tamil Nadu visit, especially his roadshow in Chennai, highlighting the key constituencies and candidates involved in the election.
road show in chennai
On Tuesday, PM Modi will hold a road show in Chennai, covering South Chennai and Central Chennai constituencies. The visit is part of his two-day tour in Tamil Nadu, where he aims to strengthen the presence and support of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state. The road show will provide an opportunity to PM Modi to interact with the people, understand their concerns and promote the BJP’s agenda for Tamil Nadu.
candidates in focus
Prominent candidates of BJP, DMK and AIADMK will participate in the road show in Chennai. Former Governor of Telangana and Puducherry Tamilisai Soundararajan is the BJP candidate from the South Chennai constituency, while Vinoj P Selvam is contesting from Chennai Central. Soundararajan will face tough competition from DMK’s Tamilchi Thangapandian and AIADMK’s J Jayawardhan. Selvam will face veteran DMK leader Dayanidhi Maran. These contests promise to be highly competitive and will play a significant role in determining the political landscape of Chennai.
Importance of Coimbatore
Among the 39 seats in Tamil Nadu, Coimbatore holds special importance for PM Modi and BJP. Coimbatore was chosen for Modi’s first political rally in Tamil Nadu after becoming Prime Minister in 2014. Once again, Coimbatore is in the headlines as PM Modi aims to strengthen the BJP’s position in the city. The party is expected to win the Coimbatore seat this time and PM Modi’s focused campaign efforts in the region reflect the importance attached to it.
PM Modi visits other constituencies
Apart from Chennai and Coimbatore, PM Modi’s two-day visit to Tamil Nadu will include stops at Vellore, Mettupalayam, Nilgiris and Pollachi. In Vellore, he will address a public meeting to extend support to Pattali Makkal Katchi’s Dharmapuri candidate Soumya Anbumani and New Justice Party’s Vellore candidate AC Shanmugam, who are contesting on the BJP symbol. The visit highlights the BJP’s alliances and efforts to strengthen its alliance in Tamil Nadu.
Major candidates and contests
L Murugan is the BJP candidate in Nilgiris, while K Annamalai is contesting from Coimbatore and K Vasantharajan from Pollachi. These constituencies are important as the BJP aims to make inroads in an area where it has traditionally had limited presence. The contests in Nilgiris, Coimbatore and Pollachi will be closely watched as they could potentially indicate the growing popularity and acceptability of the party in Tamil Nadu.
Decision on Kejriwal’s bail plea
In other political news, the Delhi High Court is set to pronounce its verdict on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s plea challenging his arrest in a money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi Excise Policy scam. Kejriwal’s arrest and subsequent sending to Enforcement Directorate custody has been a matter of controversy. This decision will have a significant impact on Kejriwal and the political scenario of Delhi.
Amit Shah’s visit to Bengal
Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to West Bengal is also making headlines. On Tuesday, he will address a public meeting in Chukuli Bhoria of Lakhimpur assembly constituency. Lakhimpur seat is currently with BJP and outgoing MP Pradan Barua is contesting the elections for the third consecutive time. Shah’s visit is aimed at strengthening the BJP’s position in the state and garnering support for its candidates.
Triangular competition in Dibrugarh
During his visit to Tinsukia city, Shah will participate in a road show from Chaliha Nagar to Thana Chariyali. Tinsukia city falls under Dibrugarh seat, where Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal is contesting as a BJP candidate. Sonowal is facing a triangular fight with United Opposition Forum (Assam) candidate Lurinjyoti Gogoi and Aam Aadmi Party candidate Manoj Dhanover. The result of this competition will be important in deciding the representation of Dibrugarh in the Lok Sabha.
conclusion
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vigorous campaign in Tamil Nadu and Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent visit to West Bengal highlight the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) focused efforts to expand its influence in these key states ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. The strategic roadshow in Chennai and other constituency visits underscore the BJP’s calculated approach towards these crucial electoral battlegrounds.
As the campaign gains momentum, significant political developments are anticipated in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. These developments will play a decisive role in shaping the electoral landscape and determining the outcome of the elections. The BJP’s concerted efforts in these states reflect its determination to strengthen its presence and emerge as a significant political force in regions traditionally dominated by other parties.
