Aiming to penetrate the Dravidian citadel, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, one of the star campaigners for the BJP in Lok Sabha polls, will reach Tamil Nadu on Friday for a two-day visit.
The Home Minister will attend as many as four roadshows and one public meeting during his visit to the southern state.
His visit comes right after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s highly successful roadshow in Chennai earlier this week and political rallies in Vellore and Coimbatore’s Mettupalayam on Wednesday, where he had not only targeted the DMK’s brand of politics, but also took on the Congress.

After the roadshow in Sivaganga, Shah will visit the Thirumayam temple in Pudukottai district before returning to Madurai. The senior BJP leader will then attend a roadshow in support of the BJP candidate for the Madurai Lok Sabha seat, Raama Sreenivasan.
