Amit Shah to visit Chennai today

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will undertake a brief visit to Chennai on April 11 and is likely to hold discussions with senior BJP leaders.

Apart from informally reviewing the party’s functioning in Tamil Nadu, he may also discuss alliance prospects in the state, where Assembly polls are due next year.

“His one-day visit will be significant as he may discuss various issues with the party’s senior functionaries,” a senior BJP leader told PTI.

Shah would arrive here on the night of April 10 by a special aircraft from the national capital and would stay at a private hotel where the informal meetings would be held. He would leave the city on Friday evening, the source said.
