Modi also carried a small cutout of the BJP's symbol, the Lotus.
State BJP president K Annamalai and the party’s candidates for South Chennai, Central Chennai, and North Chennai joined the Prime Minister in the rally.
Tamilisai Soundararajan has been fielded from South Chennai, while Vinoj P Selvam and RC Paul Kanagaraj are the party’s picks from Central Chennai and North Chennai, respectively.
This is Modi's seventh visit to Tamil Nadu this year and the first since the announcement of the Lok Sabha poll dates. Elections to the 39 Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu will be held in a single phase on April 19.
