00:00And now we bring you another news.
00:08This is from Tamil Nadu, where Home Minister Amit Shah is set to visit.
00:13Remember, Tamil Nadu is one of the states which is set to go through elections
00:17and the Home Minister's visit there is about strengthening the NDA alliance.
00:24And in the midst of all this, the Tamil Nadu Congress has attacked Home Minister Amit Shah.
00:30In fact, Congress has said that Amit Shah can come a hundred times to Tamil Nadu
00:35but it will not make any difference to the Poles.
00:38In fact, they say that there is no space for the BJP in Tamil Nadu.
00:43Remember, Home Minister Amit Shah will embark on a two-day visit to Tamil Nadu from January 4th.
00:48So, this visit of Amit Shah, in that he will be addressing a valedictory function of the BJP State Chief
01:01and there will be a statewide political campaign as well
01:05and he will also take part in a Modi Pongal event organized by the BJP District Unit.
01:11But as we know, the visit of the Home Minister is ruffling a few feathers over there
01:18and we've seen that the Congress is saying there is no space for the BJP in Tamil Nadu.
01:22Joining us right now is India Today's Pramod Madhav.
01:25Pramod, clearly the opposition party, pardon me,
01:31clearly the ruling alliance is upset over Home Minister Amit Shah's visit over there in Tamil Nadu.
01:39Do tell us what are the kind of comments that are coming in
01:41and how is it inciting the politics over there?
01:44Well, it's very certain because like now as we speak,
01:48we are in Pudukote where the Home Minister is part of the party in an event.
01:51He's closing the state president Naina Nagyandran's campaign over here
01:55and it's on and post-pitch tomorrow also he's participating in an event called as Modi Pongal in Trichy
02:00and this is where the opposition, I mean the ruling party as opposition,
02:05Selva Perindakeh has claimed that not just one time,
02:07but the opposition comes over here, they are not going to get any votes and that kind of thing like here
02:12because what happened is that recently the Home Minister when speaking,
02:15he said that they have won Bihar and the next target will be Tamil Nadu
02:19and this is what has not gone well with the DMK and its allies in the state.
