Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who made her poll debut from Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency, was leading in the early trends on Saturday.
Lashing out at the DMK and Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday that BJP’s performance in general elections will shatter their arrogance in Tamil Nadu.
“BJP’s performance in Tamil Nadu this time will shatter the arrogance of the DMK-Congress INDI alliance,” he said during a public rally in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu.
He said DMK is the enemy of the future and the culture of Tamil Nadu.

Modi mentioned that he had come here before the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha programme in Ayodhya and visited the ancient pilgrimage places here. ”Before the Ayodhya Ram temple ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony, I came to Tamil Nadu and visited the prominent temples in the state. But the DMK government tried to stop the telecast of the Ayodhya Ram temple consecration ceremony. On this Supreme Court had to reprimand the Tamil Nadu government,” he said.
They also didn’t like the installation of the Sengol in the new Parliament, Modi said.
The PM said the DMK-Congress’ INDI alliance can never make Tamil Nadu a developed state as its history is of scams and corruption.
Earlier, women BJP leaders felicitated PM Modi in the rally.
Modi said the Congress and DMK only know how to misbehave with women and both were anti-women.
”Everyone remembers what the DMK leaders did to Jayalalithaa ji. Their attitude towards women has still remained the same. Crimes against women have increased in Tamil Nadu….When we brought the reservation bill for women in Parliament, neither Congress nor DMK supported it,” he said.
The Prime Minister said ,” Our fishermen were given capital punishment in Sri Lanka… I left no stone unturned to bring our fishermen back.”
He also said ”It is our government which cleared the way for the Jallikattu.”
