 "Modi to visit superstar Rajinikanth tomorrow")
BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate and star campaigner Narendra Modi is likely to visit superstar Rajnikanth at his Chennai residence tomorrow for a "personal meeting."
"Narendra Modi is visiting cine super star Rajinikanth at his residence in Chennai tomorrow evening," BJP's General Secretary-in-charge of Tamil Nadu, P Muralidhar Rao, said in a post on social networking site 'Twitter'.
BJP sources said the party's Prime Ministerial candidate would be in Chennai to address a public meeting but before that he would go to super star's residence at around 5 PM for a "personal meeting".
BJP leaders had in the past hoped that the party gets some support from the cine star who has a wide appeal not just in Tamil Nadu but in other states as well.
The party, which has been a marginal player in Tamil Nadu politics, has aligned with several regional parties and is hoping to put up a good show this time.
