New Delhi: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, who skipped Narendra Modi’s swearing-in ceremony will meet the newly elected Prime Minister on June 03, reports said on Friday.
The AIADMK supremo will also meet Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and discuss Tamil Nadu matters. The Tamil Nadu CM is expected to give a memorandum on on key issues related to the southern state.
Jayalalithaa, who is said to have good equations with Modi, had raised her objection to the invitation sent by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapaksa for Modi’s swearing-in ceremony.
The Tamil Nadu CM had skipped the event, which was attended by high profile dignitaries, including all SAARC leaders.
Reports say that the equations between Jayalalithaa and Modi could change if the newly-elected NDA government chooses to different line than AIADMK over the contentious Tamils issue.
On May 22, AIADMK chief had dubbed as “unfortunate” the PM-designate Modi’s invite to Rajapaksa, adding that the “ill-advised” move could have been avoided as it amounted to “rubbing salt into the wounds of the already deeply injured Tamil psyche.
