Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Madurai, Tamil Nadu, on 8 June to mobilise the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.
He will address over 10,000 party workers in what senior leaders have called a ‘defining moment’ for the party’s Tamil Nadu strategy.
The BJP has chosen Madurai, a key cultural and political hub in southern Tamil Nadu, for its strategic importance in expanding the party’s footprint in the region.
Party leaders are pitching the event as a show of unity amid ongoing internal divisions within the state unit.
Sources at Kamalalayam confirmed that Amit Shah will urge party workers to rally behind state president Nainar Nagenthran.
Further, He will call for unity within the Tamil Nadu BJP and demand an end to factionalism.
A senior BJP functionary said, “Amit Shah will make it absolutely clear that Nainar Nagenthran is the BJP’s face in Tamil Nadu. Those unwilling to support him will be asked to step aside.”
Shah will stress party discipline, cohesion, and the singular goal of defeating the DMK in 2026.
“Internal power struggles have weakened us long enough. Now, we must focus on electoral victory under united leadership,” another senior leader stated.
Beyond addressing the large gathering, Shah’s visit will include closed-door meetings with key caste and community leaders to broaden the BJP’s outreach.
He will also hold alliance talks with members of the AIADMK-led NDA to refine seat-sharing and joint strategy plans.
Later in the day, Shah will preside over the state BJP’s core committee meeting to discuss booth-level mobilisation, grassroots expansion, and constituency identification in detail.
Party leaders describe the Madurai event as more than a political rally – they see it as a turning point.
A senior functionary said, “This resets the Tamil Nadu BJP. Shah’s leadership and a united cadre will lay the groundwork for a credible and formidable campaign in 2026.”
