CHENNAI, JAN 12
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi would visit Tamil Nadu on January 14, the Pongal day and witness a bull taming event, ”Jallikattu,” the party’s state president K S Alagiri said here on Tuesday.
By witnessing the event at Avaniapuram in Madurai district, the senior Congress leader would lend his moral support to farmers protesting against the new farm laws across the country, he told reporters here.
“The bull is a symbol of farmers,” he said. Only Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami and his party the AIADMK supported the Central government’s three farm laws and no other political party favoured it, Alagiri added.
Meanwhile, the BJP National President J.P. Nadda is slated to visit Chennai on the same day to participate at the Tuglak anniversary, party sources here said. It is yet to be ascertained whether Mr. Nadda will meet Superstar Rajinikanth, who refrained from entering into politics citing health reasons during his visit.
