Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday held a roadshow in Tamil Nadu's Chennai, ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. The roadshow was held at Thiyagaraya Road in the city's T Nagar locality.
The Prime Minister was accompanied by BJP state president K Annamalai and the party's candidates for South Chennai, Central Chennai, and North Chennai during the roadshow.
Tamilisai Soundararajan has been fielded from South Chennai while Vinoj P Selvam and RC Paul Kanagaraj are the party's picks from Central
Chennai and North Chennai, respectively.
Standing atop a decorated car, the Prime Minister was seen holding a lotus, the symbol of the BJP, and waving it to the crowd as he travelled through the city. A large number of people gathered on both sides of the road to catch a glimpse of the Prime Minister and warmly welcomed him. BJP flags adorned the route along which PM Modi's convoy passed, with supporters waving them enthusiastically.
Notably, the party has no representation from Tamil Nadu in the outgoing House.
