Ever since the Narendra Modi Government came to the center, the seemingly improbable started happening to the BJP as a party. Right from forming a BJP coalition government in the state of Jammu & Kashmir to sweeping the North East India with BJP or BJP alliances ruling all the 8/8 states in North East the BJP has proved itself not to be an untouchable party anymore.

Well, Tamil Nadu is no exception to this trend. For the first time in the history of BJP in Tamil Nadu 109 eminent intellectuals from the field of Tamil literature, Tamil scholars, scientists, writers, jurists, educationalists have given a joint appeal to voters of Tamil Nadu to reelect Prime Minister Modi and listed out the reasons for appealing so.

The Appeal reads out as follows:
