Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to kick off the NDA’s campaign for the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2026 with a mega rally at Madurantakam on January 23.
The announcement was made by Tamil Nadu BJP president Nainar Nagenthran on Sunday.
Speaking to reporters, Nagenthran said that Prime Minister Modi would address the rally to mark the formal launch of the NDA’s poll campaign in the southern state.
“On January 23, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the NDA campaign in Madurantakam. He will participate in the meeting to send home the anti-people DMK government currently ruling Tamil Nadu,” he said.

However, Nagenthran did not disclose the full list of parties that would be part of the NDA alliance in Tamil Nadu. Reports suggest that T.T.V. Dhinakaran’s AMMK, former Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam, and the DMDK could also be included in the alliance.
He hinted that all alliance partners would be present on the stage during Modi’s rally. “You will see that on the stage on January 23,” the Tamil Nadu BJP chief said.
Nagenthran also dismissed allegations that the Union Ministry of Defence had rejected the proposed Hosur International Airport project.
“Permission has not been denied. Certain clarifications have been sought, and it would be wrong to term it a rejection,” he clarified.
The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) and the BJP have already formed an alliance to contest the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, which are due later this year.
