In a tweet Ravi also said: "With Union Home Minister Sri @AmitShah coming to Chennai today, LOTUS (BJPs election symbol) is going to bloom across Tamil Nadu in a very BIG way."

Ramalingam was removed from DMK in April for speaking against the party leadership.

He is the second leader from DMK to have joined BJP in the recent times.
