Photo: PTIChennai: Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the home of opposition Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) president M. Karunanidhi in Chennai on Monday, putting the national spotlight back on politics in Tamil Nadu. Modi was in Chennai to preside over the platinum jubilee celebrations of the Tamil newspaper Dina Thanthi. The remark put the BJP on the back foot in Tamil Nadu. Politics in Tamil Nadu has been bustling with activity over the last few months with movie actors like Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth showing an interest in mainstream politics. Kamal, who is likely to announce a political party soon, will launch a mobile app for his fans on his 63rd birthday on Tuesday.
