and

already actively engaging with the electorate, multiple sources told TOI.
Meanwhile, BJP is preparing for Union minister Amit Shah's visit, expected on July 8, to address the new team of office bearers for Nainar Nagenthran.
BJP may streamline its decision-making process by limiting its core committee to 10 members to improve efficiency as the party gears up for upcoming assembly election.
Palaniswami is scheduled to hold a second round of discussions with district secretaries and functionaries on June 24, with a focus on the booth level committees and strengthening the party's grassroots presence.
AIADMK's campaign strategy will highlight failures of DMK govt. An associate familiar with the campaign strategy said, "It is going to be a mix of rallies, road shows and marches. EPS plans to address issues from corruption to law and order during his campaign, aiming to capitalise on anti-incumbency sentiments against the Stalin govt."
The AIADMK district units are actively involved in recruitment drives. They are focusing on attracting young people to the Ilaignar and Ilam Pengal Peravai, the student's wing, and the newly formed sports wing.

The party's booth level committees are also prioritising the inclusion of younger members to counter opponents.
Amit Shah's visit aims to strengthen the party's position in Tamil Nadu.
"The minister told core committee members last time that he would frequent Tamil Nadu and closely monitor the political situation and work towards unseating the DMK govt," a BJP leader said. Shah's previous visits, included three in less than four months, to Coimbatore, Chennai and Madurai.
Since his appointment as president of the state unit, Nainar Nagenthran finalised his team of new office-bearers, vice-presidents, general secretaries, secretaries, and treasurers, and submitted the list to the central leadership.
"The changes will be very minimal as election is fast approaching. An announcement will be made shortly," a party leader said. Nagenthran, a former AIADMK minister, has been actively engaging with senior leaders from his former party, and vice-versa.
