PM Modi's Madurai visit signals NDA's renewed push: TN BJP

TN BJP calls PM Modi's Madurai visit a decisive moment as NDA highlights development projects and Tamil heritage to energize its campaign.

"decisive political moment - A.N.S. Prasad, TN BJP spokesperson"

Chennai, March 1

The Tamil Nadu BJP on Sunday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Madurai marks a "decisive political moment" as the National Democratic Alliance intensifies its outreach in the state ahead of the Assembly elections.

In a statement, A.N.S. Prasad, spokesperson of TN BJP, said the Prime Minister's arrival has generated significant enthusiasm among party cadres, youth and first-time voters, both on the ground and across social media platforms where the slogan '#ModiComesNDAWins' has been widely shared.

He described the visit as symbolic of the NDA's commitment to aligning Tamil Nadu more closely with national development initiatives through a "double-engine government" model.

Highlighting the Prime Minister's repeated references to the Tamil language and heritage, Prasad said PM Modi has consistently elevated Tamil on global platforms.

He pointed to the Prime Minister's April 2024 remarks describing Tamil as "the world's oldest language and India's pride", as well as the launch of Thiruvalluvar Cultural Centres to promote classical traditions internationally.

Prasad also cited PM Modi's February 2026 address in Kuala Lumpur, where the Prime Minister praised Tamil literature as timeless and announced the establishment of a Thiruvalluvar Centre in Malaysia.

He noted that PM Modi has quoted classical Tamil poets at the United Nations and spoken about the Chola-era 'kudavolai' system as an early example of democratic practice.

On development, Prasad referred to the Prime Minister's January 23 event in Maduranthakam, where projects and allocations worth Rs 11 lakh crore over 11 years were highlighted. These include railway modernisation, redevelopment of 77 railway stations, expansion of national highways, PMGSY rural roads, Chennai Metro expansion, the new Pamban Bridge, and airport and port infrastructure upgrades.

He added that welfare schemes such as PMAY housing, PM-KISAN assistance, Mudra loans, and crop insurance support have strengthened inclusive growth in the state.

With elections approaching, Prasad said the NDA is confident that the Prime Minister's visit will energise its campaign and shape the political narrative in the months ahead.

Respectfully, while the PM's appreciation for Tamil language and culture is welcome, we must judge by actions, not just words. The 'double-engine' slogan needs to deliver tangible benefits for the common man in TN, beyond just announcements. 🤔

The focus on development is key! 11 lakh crore over 11 years is a massive commitment. Railway station redevelopment and highway expansion will boost connectivity and the economy. Let's see if this momentum can change the political landscape here.

As someone who follows Indian politics, it's interesting to see the national party's intensified push in Tamil Nadu. The cultural outreach (Thiruvalluvar Centres) seems like a strategic move to connect with local pride. The election season is heating up!

I appreciate that he quotes our classical poets on global stages. It brings recognition to our rich heritage. But for my family in a village, what matters more is reliable PM-KISAN payments and a proper PMAY house. Hope both culture and development get equal focus.

The enthusiasm among first-time voters is real, at least on my college campus. The #ModiComesNDAWins trend is everywhere. Whether it converts to votes will depend on how the local NDA alliance shapes up and presents a credible alternative. 🗳️
