Narendra Modi - The Hindu×
But the BJP has thus far failed to convince its alliance partner to patch up with Sasikala in the run-up to the Assembly polls
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Chennai on Sunday underlines the southward incline of the BJP which has thus far failed to convince Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palniswami to reconcile with VK Sasikala to beef up the ruling coalition’s prospects in the upcoming Assembly elections.
The PM would be addressing a public function in the Tamil Nadu capital on Sunday to inaugurate the Chennai Metro Rail Phase-I extension and a host of other projects, an event hailed by the AIADMK as symbolic of the “harmony” between the Centre and the State for the welfare of people. But the two alliance partners are not on the same page so far as getting back Sasikala is concerned.
