BJP's Hunt For Tamil Nadu Allies In Focus As PM Makes 4th Visit
NDTV
The PM's visit also comes as his BJP remains without a major alliance partner in a state dominated by the DMK and AIADMK, the latter of which was an NDA member.
The Bharatiya Janata Party's Tamil Nadu unit went into a huddle Monday ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in Chennai later today. This is the Prime Minister's fourth visit - in the past three months - to the southern state - one in which the BJP has traditionally struggled for traction.
The PM's visit also comes as his BJP remains without a major alliance partner in a state dominated by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the All India Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam; the AIADMK was an ally and member of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance till it walked out in September.
A senior BJP leader told NDTV the PM will be briefed on the "alliance status in the state".
