 "Amit Shah, Narendra Modi")
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is banking on a two-pronged attack, using its chief Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to gain a political foothold in Tamil Nadu.
BJP chief Amit Shah will be in Tamil Nadu later this month, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Sri Lanka later this week. The move could be more than a mere coincidence, as the BJP is looking at the twin visits to boost its expansion efforts in Tamil Nadu in the run-up to the 2019 Lok Sabha poll. The party has traditionally been weak in the state.
