“This has to be investigated. How can there be a sudden power failure when our leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah reached Chennai airport? This is a security lapse. This should be seriously investigated,” Karu Nagarajan said.

Shah landed in Chennai on Saturday night as part of his two-day visit to Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh.

His visit is part of the BJP’s month-long campaign to take the achievements of the Narendra Modi government of nine years to the masses.
