Modi’s Chennai visit: Did he refuse to meet BJP leaders?

Tamil Nadu: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Chennai is in the news for several reasons. Reports indicate that he has canceled a planned meeting with BJP leaders, sparking a stir in political circles. However, party sources say this decision was made strategically to avoid any impact on the election campaign.

Prime Minister Modi will arrive in Chennai today at around 3:20 pm and will head directly to Puducherry, where he will address a public rally in view of the assembly elections. After completing the campaign, he will return to Chennai at 6:40 pm.

It was originally scheduled to hold a meeting with Tamil Nadu BJP leaders on April 4th, but this has now been canceled. It is being reported that the gathering of leaders in Chennai during the election season could have impacted the ongoing campaigning in their respective constituencies. This is why the decision was made to postpone the meeting.

However, the BJP has clarified that the Prime Minister is not completely distancing himself from party leaders. They will communicate via video conferencing and continue to discuss election strategy. This is being done to ensure that leaders’ time is saved and grassroots campaigning is not affected.

Political analysts believe this move may be part of the BJP’s election strategy, which emphasizes optimal utilization of time and resources.
