Velumani, who is the chief whip of the opposition party in the TN Assembly, had a brief discussion with the BJP leader at a hotel here on Sunday night.

Shah, on a two-day visit to Tamil Nadu, had addressed the valedictory of BJP state chief Nainar Nagenthran's public connect campaign "Tamilagam Thalai Nimira Tamilanin Payanam" (a Tamil's journey for Tamil Nadu to hold its head high) at nearby Pudukkottai on Sunday.

Shah would wind up his visit to the state after visiting the Jambukeshwar temple in Tiruvanaikaval and Sri Ranganatha Swamy temple in Srirangam here, besides attending the Pongal celebrations organised by the BJP ahead of the mid-January harvest festival.
