BJP Prez Amit Shah’s Three-Day Visit To TN Postponed Again?

BJP Prez Amit Shah’s Three-Day Visit To TN Postponed Again?:- The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) state unit said on Monday that Party President Amit Shah’s three-day visit to Tamil Nadu has been postponed again. The visit was scheduled to start from Tuesday.

BJP State unit president Tamilisai Sounderrajan said, Shah had to postpone his visit following a meeting of NDA chief ministers in Delhi and his subsequent required presence in various other important meetings, on Monday. Sounderrajan said in a statement that as a result, Shah’s visit to Tamil Nadu as part of the 95-day nation wide tour has been “postponed”. She further added that the new schedule for his visit would be announced later.

During his August 22-24 state tour, the BJP chief was slated to attend a series of events in Chennai and Coimbatore. Among other engagements, he was scheduled to meet a host of personalities, have lunch at a party worker’s residence in Chennai and address the state party unit functionaries.

Earlier, Shah was scheduled to visit Tamil Nadu in May, but the trip was postponed. The BJP Chief, with an eye on the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, is traveling across the country to strategize and find ways to strengthen the party at the grass-root level.

While BJP has one Lok Sabha MP from Tamil Nadu, it has no representation in the 234-member state Assembly, dominated by the AIADMK.
