Amit Shah visits Chennai to meet BJP's ally

New Delhi, Nov 21 (UNI) Union Home Minister Amit Shah is visiting Chennai on Saturday to meet BJP's alliance partners in poll bound Tamil Nadu.
The Tamil Nadu Assembly elections will be held in April-May next year along with four other state Assembly polls.
According to political observers, "After BJP's robust performance in Bihar,it remains to be seen if Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity in North Indian states can have similar traction in non-Hindi speaking bastions like Bengal, Tamil Nadu."
Informatively, in TN, there is no "Opposition vacuum" as in Bengal due to "near-total collapse" of the Congress and the Left.
The observers were of the view that "the BJP can only expand its Hindutva base at the expense of it's ally, and governing party,AIADMK."
Incidentally, these "tensions" were exposed in recent weeks with BJP's 'Vetrivel Yatra' dedicated to Lord Muruga not receiving permission from the AIADMK government.
"Unlike neighbouring Karnataka, where BJP has been able to build on the Lingayat vote base, the party is still largely seen as a north Indian, Aryan outfit in TN where Dravidianist ideology is strong," the observers opined.
They also remarked -"While PM Modi's personal popularity can't be underestimated,BJP's lack of a strong, charismatic Tamil leader is a handicap."
