Advani, Modi likely to meet Jayalalithaa

Speculation is rife that senior BJP leaders L K Advani and Narendra Modi are likely to meet Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa
when they come to Chennai on January 14 to participate in the annual function organised by 'Tuglak', a Tamil journal edited by Cho Ramasamy. While their appointment with the CM is yet to be officially confirmed, Advani is likely to call on long time friend, actor Rajnikanth. Modi will arrive in Chennai by a special flight on January 14 afternoon and return the same night. Advani will arrive in the city from Delhi. Sources said both the leaders will call on Sukumaran Nambiar's family and pay their condolences to the bereaved family. Nambiar, a senior BJP leader, died recently following a heart attack. The two leaders may meet Jayalalithaa over dinner during their visit to the state. Advani will spend time with Rajnikanth as well. The two meetings may not have much political significance as the two leaders could be merely making courtesy calls in view of their long time associations with the Tamil Nadu leaders.
