Shah greeted the cadres from his specially-designed vehicle and flashed the party's Lotus symbol throughout the nearly 2.5 km stretch, close to the renowned Sri Meenakshi Sundareshwarar temple.

Later, posting a video of his roadshow, Shah said there was overwhelming support for Modi 3.0 at the Madurai roadshow.

The BJP alone has concern for the state's development and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made the nation secure and prosperous, he claimed.

"The BJP is contesting this general election without being in alliance with either the DMK or AIADMK... Now the time has come for the people of Tamil Nadu to stand with Narendra Modi and make him Prime Minister for a third consecutive term," Shah said.

Apologising for his inability to speak in Tamil, Shah said that Modi had taken Tamil pride to the world and only the BJP could take the Tamil language and its culture to other parts of the country. "I will try to speak in Tamil in two-to-five years," he said.
