Tamil Nadu BJP President inspects Trichy venue ahead of PM Modi's NDA event

Tiruchirapalli (Tamil Nadu) [India], March 6 (ANI): Tamil Nadu BJP President Nainar Nagendran on Friday inspected the venue for the upcoming Union government function and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) public meeting, which will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 11 in Trichy.
Speaking to reporters, Nagendran said that leaders of all parties in the National Democratic Alliance will address the gathering. He stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will arrive by helicopter at around 5 pm and will participate in the public meeting and deliver his address until about 6:30 pm.
Nagendran also stated that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has been claiming that the Union government is not providing welfare schemes to the state. However, he pointed out that during the Prime Minister's meeting in Madurai, welfare assistance worth Rs 4,400 crore was provided.
He also said that projects worth Rs 1,700 crore were implemented in Thoothukudi, and in 2025, the Prime Minister announced and launched projects worth Rs 4,700 crore in the same district. Furthermore, he added that the Prime Minister will distribute welfare assistance on behalf of the Union government during the Trichy public meeting.
Criticising the state government, Nagendran alleged that law and order have deteriorated under the rule of Chief Minister MK Stalin. He claimed that people in Tamil Nadu are expecting a change in government and that a change in power will take place soon.
On seat-sharing arrangements, he said that nothing can be said at the moment. Unlike the Congress-DMK alliance, he said, there is no delay or confusion in the NDA, and since the alliance remains firm, discussions on seat-sharing can be held and concluded at any time.
Nagendran further alleged that the circulation of ganja and other narcotic substances has increased under the current government in Tamil Nadu. He claimed that crimes linked to drug abuse are rising and cited a recent incident in Sivaganga, alleging that even elderly people are not being spared.
He said the law and order situation in the state is not satisfactory and questioned how the government can function properly when it has not even been able to appoint a permanent Director General of Police (DGP). He added that people will certainly reject the present government if such issues are not addressed. (ANI)
