As a Tamilian, I welcome any PM's visit. But I hope this isn't just an election stunt. We need concrete plans for industrial growth in Vellore and better infrastructure, not just big promises.

Impressive how he's handling the AI summit with world leaders and then immediately focusing on a state rally. That's the work ethic we need. Hope the NDA alliance in TN becomes strong.

Interesting political move. The article mentions AIADMK's EPS will also be there. If the NDA can present a united front, 2026 could be very competitive. The 1.5 lakh expected turnout is huge if true.

Respectfully, I feel these large rallies cause so much disruption for common people. Traffic jams, security cordons... I hope the local administration ensures minimal inconvenience to residents and students.

Vellore Fort Grounds is a historic place. Hope the event is conducted with care for the location. The PM's visit should highlight Tamil Nadu's culture and potential, not just be a political speech.
