Ahead of upcoming Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President J P Nadda attended a public meeting at Modakurichi, Erode on April 3 and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the first PM who visited Jaffna and ensured safety of Tamil Nadu minorities.

"Modi Ji is the first PM to visit Jaffna in Sri Lanka.

He visited bombarded houses, got them reconstructed.
