NAGERCOIL: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in a roadshow in Nagercoil on April 15 in support of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidates, BJP state president Nainar Nagenthran said on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters in Nagercoil, Nagenthran stated that the roadshow will be held from Vepamoodu junction to Vadassery MGR statue. Detailed information regarding the Prime Minister’s arrival time is yet to be finalised, he added.
Party functionaries and cadres from six Assembly constituencies in Kanniyakumari district, along with alliance partners, are expected to participate in large numbers.
Nagenthran said the NDA would win more than 180 seats in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Referring to the NEET issue, he stated that the DMK had promised to abolish the exam ahead of the previous election but had not done so, adding that the BJP had already clarified its stand on the matter.
On actor Vijay’s campaign in southern districts, he said there would be no impact, claiming that a shift in public opinion had already taken place in favour of the NDA.
Commenting on the metro rail project, he alleged that the State government failed to prepare a proper detailed project report, which affected its implementation.
On BJP leader K Annamalai, Nagenthran dismissed speculation over seat allocation, stating that Annamalai was campaigning across multiple states and that unnecessary controversy should be avoided.
He also said the Sathankulam case verdict had no connection with politics.
