On one hand, the race for seat distribution is going on in Delhi, Lucknow, Mumbai, Jaipur and Patna, but on the other hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, unperturbed by all this, is busy preparing the ground for BJP in South India. Modi was in Kerala on Tuesday morning. He did a big road show in Palakkad. A huge crowd gathered at Modi’s road show. This was Modi’s fifth visit to Kerala this year. After this Modi reached Tamil Nadu and held a big election rally in Salem. NDA’s strength demonstrated for the first time in Tamil Nadu. PMK founder S on the stage with Modi. Ramadoss, his son Anbumani Ramadoss, former AIADMK Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam, AMMK leader T.T.V. Leaders of a total of five parties including Dinakaran were present. In Tamil Nadu, all these parties have an alliance with BJP. At the Salem rally, Modi honored 11 women as Shakti Amma. After this, Modi alleged that Congress and its allies are insulting women as Shakti Swarupa and the people of Indi Alliance want to destroy the power on which Hindu religion has faith. Modi said that the people of Indi Alliance are talking about the destruction of power, but destruction happens to those who say such things.
After this Modi raised the issues of corruption and nepotism of Congress and DMK. Modi said that there is no difference between DMK and Congress. Modi said that today 5G has arrived in the country but in Tamil Nadu, 5G means possession of the fifth generation of the same family. Prime Minister Narendra Modi became emotional at the Salem rally. Remembering Ramesh, a BJP worker, he suddenly became emotional, stopped speaking, his throat choked and his eyes filled with tears. Then Modi drank water and told that there was a time when he used to come to Tamil Nadu, he used to meet Auditor Ramesh. Ramesh used to work hard for BJP but he was murdered. He is being missed today. In 2013, Auditor Ramesh was brutally murdered with an ax by some people in his house.
As Prime Minister Modi again raised the slogan of crossing 400, sought the support of the people in Tamil Nadu, made promises to the people for the development of Tamil Nadu, MDMK leader Vaiko hit back. Vaiko said that whatever Modi says, the people of Tamil Nadu will not fall for his words. It is true that BJP has not had any significant influence in Tamil Nadu. Even when BJP had an alliance with AIADMK, Jayalalitha did not allow BJP to establish a foothold there. But Modi’s politics is completely different. He thinks far ahead. In the last 10 years he has tried to touch the hearts of the people of Tamil Nadu. There are many examples of this. Like Modi brought about the confluence of Kashi and Tamil Nadu, he made the people of Tamil Nadu visit Kashi every year. Sangol was placed in the new Parliament building. He did many such symbolic things and now when he speaks in Tamil Nadu, through AI, the people there get to hear Modi’s words in Tamil. The effect of all these things is that for the first time the people of Tamil Nadu have got a chance to know about BJP, they have come to know about the work of Modi and the crowd that appeared in Tamil Nadu to listen to Modi, has made the DMK leaders Has surprised. But will this crowd convert into votes? Voting is to be held for all 39 Lok Sabha seats of Tamil Nadu on April 19 and the people of the state will take their decision on the same day. (Rajat Sharma)
