In Tamil Nadu, as polling day approaches, star campaigners are intensifying their efforts to reach out to voters across the state through rallies and roadshows.
Senior BJP leaders and Union Ministers Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh are on a whirlwind campaign tour in the state. Mr Shah addressed a massive rally at Mylapore in Chennai and held a roadshow at Erode. He criticized the Congress and DMK for voting against the Women’s Reservation Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha. Mr Shah also expressed confidence that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would form a government in the state under the leadership of AIADMK chief Edappadi K. Palaniswami. He hit out at the ruling DMK for dynastic politics, alleged corruption and law and order issues.
Addressing a poll rally in the Tenkasi district, Senior BJP leader Rajnath Singh said the government is determined to implement the amendment bill regarding the Women’s Reservation Act, and no power in the world can stop them.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge held a public meeting in Hosur. He said the Opposition opposed the proposed delimitation exercise, as it was aimed at dividing the votes of Opposition parties and the ruling party.
In the single-phase election to be held on the 23rd of this month, the fate of candidates in 234 constituencies will be decided by more than five crore voters in the state.
