Thaliparamba, Kannur: BJP national president Amit Shah on Tuesday visited the famed Rajarajeswara Temple here ahead of launching the party's state-wide march.

Though it was reported that he would offer prayers at the nearby Aravath temple also, he had to cancel the plan due to time constraints.
BJP state president Kummanam Rajasekharan, general secretary K. Surendran, Mangaluru MP Nalin Kumar Kateel were among the party leaders who visited the temple along with Shah.
The police had arranged tight security on the temple premises.
