In anticipation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Puducherry on February 14, authorities are implementing extensive security measures in Karaikal. Approximately 500 police personnel will be deployed throughout the area to ensure safety and manage crowd control during the public event. Local law enforcement and support units will oversee the arrangements, focusing on key intersections, event locations, and entry points, as outlined by officials.

Itinerary Details of Amit Shah’s Visit

Amit Shah is expected to arrive via helicopter at the Thirunallar helipad and will subsequently head to the municipal ground for a public meeting. It is also reported that the Home Minister may pay a visit to the Thirunallar temple prior to his departure. The organization of this event is part of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s broader strategy to enhance its presence in the region leading up to the upcoming assembly elections.

BJP Gears Up for Upcoming Elections

The BJP has intensified its preparations for the meeting, which is deemed crucial for the party’s electoral prospects in the Union territory. Recently, a ceremonial “bhoomi puja” was conducted on February 7, marking the commencement of construction for the event’s stage and canopy. Thousands of party supporters are anticipated to attend, with various committees established for effective logistics and crowd management.

Political Significance of Shah’s Rally

The BJP’s objective is to secure victories across all five assembly constituencies in Karaikal, aligning with the ruling coalition formed by the All India NR Congress and the BJP. The Puducherry assembly elections are projected to take place in April, further heightening the significance of this event as both parties strive to consolidate their support base in the region.

The rally, therefore, is positioned as a pivotal occasion not only to rally support for the BJP but also to reinforce the coalition’s commitment to governance in Puducherry.
