Amit Shah exudes confidence of NDA 'coalition government' in TN post Apr 6 polls

Kanyakumari (TN), Mar 7 (PTI) Union Home Minister Amit
Shah on Sunday launched his party's campaign for the April 6
Lok Sabha bypoll here and exuded confidence that the party
would not only win here, but the NDA in Tamil Nadu would
emerge victorious in the Assembly elections also next month.
Launching his "Vetri Kodi Eandhi" (Carrying the flag of
victory) campaign from Suseendiram in this district, he said
he was confident that a coalition government of the NDA will
come to power in the state after the April 6 assembly polls.
The party has fielded former Union Minister Pon
Radhakrishnan for the Lok Sabha bypoll, necessitated due to
the death of Congress MP H Vasantha Kumar last year due to
COVID-19.
Kicking off his party's campaign with Radhakrishnan and
senior state BJP leaders in tow, Shah said he visited 11
houses to "convey Prime Minister Narendra Modi's message."
"We have started the campaign to take the BJP's Lotus
symbol door-to-door," he said and appealed to the public and
the voters to elect Radhakrishnan as the party "needs him."
"I am sure about the outcome (of the polls), looking at
the excitement of the people" both in Kanyakumari Lok Sabha
seat as well in the Assembly polls, he said, implying that the
NDA would emerge victorious in the hustings.
"I am confident that a coalition government of
AIADMK-BJP-PMK will be formed (after the Assembly polls)," he
added.
The BJP senior distributed pamphlets, interacted with
people and also took pictures with some of them.
The ruling AIADMK and the BJP in Tamil Nadu had on Friday
clinched a seat-sharing deal, with the former, the lead
partner, allocating 20 Assembly seats for its saffron ally and
the Kanyakumari Lok Sabha seat.
BJP has nominated Radhakrishnan from here. Though he won
from the same segment in 2014, he lost to Kumar five years
later. PTI SA APR
