Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address a major election rally in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on April 20, 2026. The event is part of the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) campaign for the upcoming state legislative assembly elections.
The rally, organized by the BJP's Tamil Nadu unit, aims to bolster the party's presence in a state traditionally dominated by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). The BJP is contesting the elections as part of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
Security arrangements in Coimbatore are being heightened in preparation for the Prime Minister's visit. Local authorities have outlined traffic diversions and security protocols for the event at the CODISSIA Grounds.
Political analysts note that the BJP is seeking to make significant inroads in Tamil Nadu, where it has historically had limited electoral success. The rally is seen as a key moment in the party's southern strategy ahead of the polls.
