Madurai, June 8 (Reporter) On a two-day visit to this temple town, Union Home Minister Amit Shah offered prayers at the famous Meenakshi Amman Temple here on Sunday. He was received at the temple entrance with the traditional 'Poorna Kumbham' honours by the temple authorities. Mr Amit Shah spent about 30 minutes at the temple and had darshan at various sannidhis. Tight security arrangements were made in all the four entry points of the temple. Devotees were allowed entry only through three entry points after thorough check. The Eastern Tower entrance was made out of bounds for public. Mr Amit Shah, who landed here last night, was believed to have held a preliminary meeting with the State BJP leaders. After visiting the temple, the master BJP poll strategist, who was keen on expanding the AIADMK-led NDA in Tamil Nadu by roping in more parties to take on the ruling DMK in the upcoming Assembly elections in 2026, also chaired a meeting of the state core committee of the Tamil Nadu BJP to discuss the road map and devise strategies for the polls. All top senior leaders including State President Nainar Nagendran, who is also the BJP Legislature Party leader, former Chiefs K Annamalai, Ms Tamilisai Soundararajan, MLAs including Ms Vanathi Srinivasan, BJP TN General Secretary Rama Sreenivasan, National Governing Council members including H Raja, BJP Central observers and TN in-charge members, took part in the meeting.
