BJP National President JP Nadda's visit to Tamil Nadu aims at charting poll strategy for Lok Sabha polls 2024

As the BJP gears itself for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP National president JP Nadda has visited Tamil Nadu, with the avowed aim of winning more seats in South India.


Coimbatore: With the 2024 Lok Sabha elections approaching, political parties have begun their election preparedness in the right earnest.

When the DMK came to power in the last TN assembly elections, the AIADMK alliance won the Kongu region. In this situation, the contest for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections has gained momentum as the DMK had an upper hand in the last local body elections.

Though the AIADMK-BJP alliance in Tamil Nadu is said to be stable, there may be some surprises as factionalism is high within the AIADMK. At the same time, the BJP, the national party, is keen to gain a foothold in south India, including Tamil Nadu.

The BJP National President JP Nadda is visiting Tamil Nadu today. J.P. Nadda, who is coming to Coimbatore district, will be addressing a public meeting and attending a meeting of polling agents at Mettupalayam in which polling agents of both Coimbatore and the Nilgiris parliamentary constituencies would take part.

The event will be held at a private hall on Mettupalayam four road junction. The BJP has also come to power in various states in India and despite being in power at the Centre, it has not been able to dominate South India.

So in July last year, the BJP launched 'Operation South'. It was introduced by Home Minister Amit Shah at the working committee meeting. The BJP is keen to win the coming elections, and the BJP leaders keep visiting Tamil Nadu.

At the meeting today, J P Nadda is likely to advise polling agents on how to face the Lok Sabha elections, take the central government's welfare schemes to the people and how to carry out the election campaign.

It is also said that the BJP may discuss internal issues. Recently, when a bandh was called by BJP, its State president Annamalai told the court that the state leadership had not issued any protest, It created a minor uproar in the party, which is likely to be resolved and the election strategy chalked out. AIADMK’s internal matters may also figure out in the meeting.

State BJP President, Annamalai, L Murugan, Vanathi Srinivasan and C P Radhakrishnan, are expected to attend the meeting, and heavy police security has been put in place in the area.
