Leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party and over 200 functionaries from all the Parliamentary constituencies in Tamil Nadu took part in an orientation programme the party organised in Coimbatore for its parliament constituency in-charges on Sunday.
While there were rumours that the party was having a core committee meeting as part of its election work in the State, Coimbatore South MLA Vanathi Srinivasan told journalists that it was a training programme.
The national general secretary of the BJP B.L. Santhosh attended a meeting in Kerala on Sunday morning and since Coimbatore was located close-by and had air connectivity to New Delhi, the programme for the in-charges in Tamil Nadu was held here and he participated in it, she said.
