Amit Shah in Chennai: Home Minister Breaks Security Protocols Soon After Landing in the City 

Union home minister Amit Shah reached Tamil Nadu's Chennai city on Saturday where he will take part in three events. As per his schedule for Chennai, the home minister will first pay floral tributes to MG Ramachandran and former chief minister, late Jayalalithaa at 4:30 pm. 

Soon after that, Shah will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for various development projects worth Rs 67,000 crore, including Phase 2 of Chennai Metro Rail. Then at around 6:00 pm, he will meet office-bearers and district presidents of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Tamil Nadu. 

As per Hindustan Times reports, Amit Shah is expected to discuss Tamil Nadu elections which are due next year. He is currently on a two-day visit to Chennai.

Minutes after landing in Chennai, Amit Shah sprang a surprise when he virtually broke protocol to get out of his vehicle and walk on the busy GST Road outside the airport to greet supporters. 

After exiting the airport, the Home Minister's car suddenly stopped and the BJP veteran got out, before walking a short distance, waving at a large number of BJP and AIADMK workers who had gathered to receive him with their respective party flags.  

On his arrival from Delhi, Shah was received by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami, his deputy O Panneerselvam, senior cabinet members and BJP State President L Murugan among others, before proceeding to the city hotel where he will stay for the two days.

For Amit Shah's arrival and visit, a heavy security cover has been provided in the city; he has possibly come to discuss Tamil Nadu elections before leaving on Sunday morning.
