Bharatiya Janata Party is planning a huge welcome for Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit likely next week in Chennai where he is likely to flag off Vande Bharat Express among other developmental programmes, sources said on Friday.

Prime Minister is likely to visit Tamil Nadu's capital Chennai where he will inaugurate the new terminal of Chennai Airport, flag off the Vande Bharat Train and attend an event of the Ramakrishna Mission, sources said.

The BJP is planning a massive welcome in which over 30,000 people are expected to line up the streets to welcome the Prime Minister upon his arrival.

State president Annamalai who is also the co-in-charge of poll-bound Karnataka has been supervising all the arrangements.

"We are also speaking to the concerned authorities if we can arrange for a public meeting/meeting where the PM can address the party workers while he is in Chennai," a state office bearer told ANI talking about the party's plans of arranging a public meeting.

"PM Modi is the biggest face for the BJP as the saffron party looks to make inroads down South, especially in Tamil Nadu," he added.

Recently, the nomination of noted music maestro Ilayaraja to Rajya Sabha, is an interesting indication in that direction. -- ANI
