victims in this Textile city, saying it could never be forgotten and that Tamil Nadu will surprise everyone with the outcome of the Lok Sabha poll results as BJP was emerging as a very strong force across the State.

“The 1998 Coimbatore terror bombings can never be forgotten. While in the city, paid homage to those we lost in those bombings”, Mr Modi posted in X.

“What was special was the participation of people from all walks of life. These blessings are greatly cherished”, he added.

Mr Modi wrote “Tamil Nadu is going to surprise everyone with the results (in the coming Lok Sabha elections).”

“Our Party (the BJP) is emerging as a very strong force across the state”, he said.

The people are in no mood to support the DMK any longer, he added.
