 “I want to repeat my demand from the Tamil Nadu government that medical and engineering be taught in the Tamil language soon. PM Modi respected Tamil Nadu by installing Sengol in parliament, and I expect MK Stalin to write a letter to the PM to thank him for it,” Shah said.

Before addressing the state, district and mandal level office bearers, Shah chaired the meeting of the state core committee of the Tamil Nadu BJP.  He also worshipped at the Madurai Meenakshi temple.

The BJP state president Nainar Nagendran also hit out at the DMK regime over the law and order scenario and questioned the police over targeted killings of elderly people in villages in the western Kongu region. He appealed to cadres to work with determination and described the alliance with AIADMK as a suitable alliance. Nagendran said that his resolve will take the maximum number of MLAs to the Assembly, like a yatra. He hailed Amit Shah as India’s Iron Man, another Sardar Vallabhai Patel.
