In a major boost to the National Democratic Alliance’s electoral prospects in Tamil Nadu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to kick off the campaign with a high-profile rally on January 23. This strategic move signals the NDA’s renewed vigor in a state traditionally dominated by regional powerhouses like DMK and AIADMK.
The rally, expected to draw massive crowds in a key southern district, comes at a time when the BJP-led coalition is intensifying efforts to break into Tamil Nadu’s political landscape. Sources close to the party indicate that Modi’s address will focus on development achievements, national security, and the alliance’s vision for Tamil Nadu’s growth.
Tamil Nadu, with its 39 Lok Sabha seats, remains a tough nut to crack for the NDA. The 2019 elections saw the alliance securing just one seat, but recent bypolls and local body elections have shown promising signs of support. Modi’s visit is part of a broader southern offensive, following successful outreach in neighboring states.
Party leaders emphasize that the event will highlight infrastructure projects like the Chennai-Bengaluru Expressway and welfare schemes benefiting millions. ‘This is the beginning of a new chapter for Tamil Nadu,’ said a senior NDA functionary, underscoring the campaign’s momentum.
As opposition parties gear up, the NDA hopes Modi’s charisma and the alliance’s unity will sway voters disillusioned with incumbents. With months to go before polls, January 23 marks a pivotal launchpad for what promises to be a fiercely contested battle.
