Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday led a roadshow in Nagercoil, where he asserted that the NDA is certain to win the upcoming Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu.
After arriving from Thiruvananthapuram, he started a two-km long roadshow from Vippamudu Junction to Vadasiri. He was joined by AIADMK president Edappadi K Palaniswami, BJP state president Nainar Nagendran, and senior BJP leaders K Annamalai and Pon Radhakrishnan.
During the roadshow, Modi paid tribute to the photographs of BR Ambedkar, former Prime Minister K Kamaraj and former Prime Ministers CN Annadurai and MG Ramachandran.
Security measures were tightened during the high-level visit, with more than 2,000 police personnel deployed across the city to manage the massive turnout and ensure the safety of the senior leadership.
Addressing the alliance candidates after the roadshow, Modi expressed confidence in the NDA’s victory.

He also took the opportunity to attack the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). “There is enormous disappointment over the performance of the DMK. The gap between their promises and their implementation is evident and people are increasingly angry over issues of mismanagement, lack of accountability and tangible results,” the Prime Minister wrote.
Modi added that the roadshow was filled with “unparalleled enthusiasm” and said: “It is clear that Tamil Nadu does not want any more mismanagement and corruption in the DMK.”
“The NDA will provide good, pro-people governance to the state,” he added, sharing glimpses of the roadshow on his account.
Under the NDA alliance, the BJP is contesting on 27 seats, with candidates including party president Nainar Nagendran in Sattur, Mr Gandhi in Nagercoil and Ananthan Ayyasamy in Vasudevanallur.
KRM Radhakrishnan (Tiruchendur), T Sivakumar (Colachel), GBS K Nagenthran (Ramanathapuram), S Vijayadharini (Velavancode), P Ramesh (Padmanabhapuram) were also present on the occasion.
