Union Minister Amit Shah to participate in BJP booth committee meeting in Tirunelveli today
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Tamil Nadu today to participate in the BJP’s zonal conference and preside over the State Core Committee meeting in Tirunelveli.
The zonal conference, originally scheduled for August 17, was postponed following the demise of Nagaland Governor and veteran BJP leader La Ganesan.
The Tirunelveli conference is expected to focus on strengthening booth-level committees and speeding up grassroots mobilisation in the southern districts.
Party sources noted that this will be one of the largest BJP events in the region, aimed at energising cadre and reinforcing the party’s growing influence in southern Tamil Nadu.
While Shah is not expected to meet AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami during this visit, BJP leaders have indicated that discussions on consolidating the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the state will be an important part of his deliberations with state leaders.
Strengthening alliances, fine-tuning electoral strategies, and addressing local political challenges are likely to figure in the review sessions.
Meanwhile, BJP national General Secretary (organisation) BL Santhosh is also scheduled to visit Tamil Nadu by the end of August to assess the party’s organisational progress. His visit is expected to complement Shah’s efforts by offering guidance on expanding cadre strength and ensuring greater coordination at the grassroots level.
