Amit Shah Sets Jan. 4–5 Tamil Nadu Push With BJP Rally, Temple Visit and Pongal Event

The trip is framed as a bid to consolidate the NDA through consultations, temple stops, plus Pongal-focused outreach.

Overview

Shah is slated to be in Tiruchirappalli on January 4 before heading to Pudukottai for the finale of BJP state chief Nainar Nagenthran’s yatra.
He is expected to meet the BJP’s high-level committee in Tiruchi on January 4 to review the political landscape, party leaders said.
On January 5, the schedule includes a visit to Srirangam’s Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple and a Pongal celebration at the military ground in Tiruchi, with around 2,000 families anticipated according to the BJP.
BJP organizers describe the Pudukottai event as a party programme, and AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami has a separate campaign in Salem that day.
Party consultations on seat-sharing continue within the NDA, with sources reporting discussions about including O. Panneerselvam and T.T.V. Dhinakaran as DMK outreach and AIADMK attacks intensify statewide.
