Nainar to undertake ‘yatra' to assembly with poll candidates
Madurai:
BJP
state president Nainar Nagenthran on Wednesday told reporters in Madurai that his journey as state president will be defined by a 'yatra' (march) to the state assembly with MLA candidates.
He stated that the BJP, which came second in many constituencies, will clinch victory in 2026.
"Just as how my predecessors took up 'Vel Yatra' and 'En Mann En Makkal Yatra', I will go on a march to the state assembly with MLA candidates. BJP candidates, in many constituencies, already came second in the previous assembly elections. This time, they will go a step further and achieve victory, no doubt," he said.
Nagenthran was in Madurai on Wednesday to take part in the erection of 'muhurta kaal' pole at Amma Thidal near Vandiyur toll gate for the Murugan devotees conference to be organised in Madurai by Hindu Front on June 22.
He said around 5 lakh people are expected to take part in the conference. "It is purely for devotees, in line with what was conducted by the DMK govt in Palani but on a better scale and with real devotees. There is no political motive," he added.
Referring to Udhayanidhi Stalin's statement that DMK is 'not afraid of Modi or ED,' he said reality speaks otherwise. "From when they were in the Congress alliance in 2011, ED raids remain a source of fear for the DMK and deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin. CM Stalin also made contradictory statements regarding attending Niti Aayog meeting in Delhi but later met PM Modi too. He should be asked what he spoke with the PM," added Nagenthran.
