Visit brings ancient capital into spotlight

The visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has catapulted Gangaikonda Cholapuram, the capital of emperor Rajendra Chola, into national limelight.

- P THIRUSELVAM @Ariyalur

PRIME Minister Narendra Modi, on a two-day visit to Tamil Nadu, received a warm reception from enthusiastic supporters as he travelled by road from a private hotel in the city to Tiruchy International Airport before flying to Gangaikonda Cholapuram on Sunday.

Hundreds of BJP and AIADMK cadres gathered along the roadside at key junctions, particularly in areas like Bharathidasan Salai (BJP cadres) and Subramaniapuram area road stretch (AIADMK cadres).

A large number of AIADMK members, carrying party flags and balloons, were seen waving as the PM's convoy passed. This marked a rare instance of AIADMK cadres joining a public reception for the PM after the parties (AIADMK and BJP) renewed their alliance.

The PM acknowledged the cheering crowd by waving to them from inside his vehicle. While the turnout of AIADMK was comparatively higher to BJP cadres near the Bharathidasan Salai, it also revealed mixed emotions among AIADMK cadres with some viewing the renewed tie-up with the BJP as a strategic necessity, while others remaining uneasy about its long-term implications.
