Will register historic win, people of TN with PM Modi: Annamalai
Tamil Nadu BJP chief K. Annamalai said on Friday that the Bharatiya Janata Party will register a historic victory in the state in the Lok Sabha elections.
The Madras High Court on Thursday permitted Tamil Nadu government to put up flex boards to welcome President of China Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi who are slated to meet this month at Mamallapuram, nearly 60 km from Chennai.
However the court has given permission for displaying the banners from Chennai airport to Mamallapuram only. A division bench comprising Justice M Sathyanarayanan and Justice N Seshasayee took up the petition filed by commissioner of municipal administration on behalf of the government for hearing.
The high court had earlier banned erection of hoardings on roadsides and recently pulled up the government for not effectively implementing its order in the wake of the death of a woman techie.
