PM's Visit Will Set the Tone for DMK's Ouster: Murugan · deccanchronicle.com

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to speak at a big meeting in Madurantakam on January 23.

This meeting is important because it will show how strong the NDA (a group of political parties) is in Tamil Nadu.

The NDA wants to remove the DMK (another political party) from power.

Union Minister L Murugan said that the NDA has been successful in other places like Maharashtra and Kerala, and they think they will be successful in Tamil Nadu too.

He also said that more parties will join the NDA, but one group led by O Panneerselvam might not join.

Another group led by S Ramadoss might join the NDA.

O Panneerselvam said he was not invited to the meeting, but posters say T T V Dinakaran will be there.

The Tamil Nadu BJP president announced the event and hinted that all alliance partners would be present on the stage during Modi’s rally.
