Annamalai

Annamalai rejected the claim that there was no democracy stating that the wrestlers were allowed to protest at Jantar Mantar, given the opportunity to conduct press meets to level allegations.

Asked about the more recent references to Thakkar Bapa in Tamil Nadu, especially in movies, as Appatakkar, rumoured to be evolved from the words, Thakkar Appa, Mr. Annamalai denies any connection between them.

BJP State president K. Annamalai on Sunday shared a short video clip of DMK MP T.R. Baalu’s speech on the social media and criticised him for “taking pride” in demolishing temples.

But had it not been for the financial muscle of Raja Sir Annamalai Chettiar, the Tamil Song Movement may have remained just a demand on paper.

Commenting on a few leaders leaving the BJP's Tamil Nadu unit, Annamalai said these tremors will happen until the party settles down here.

Mr. Annamalai said the people of Tamil Nadu will soon teach a lesson to the DMK, which according to him was acting in arrogance and avenging the BJP for criticising the DMK’s “corrupt and inefficient” government.

Stating that “democracy turns into autocracy when powers are concentrated within one family”, state BJP president K Annamalai said the DMK government was rattled by the slightest criticism.

The club said that it was "not healthy for Annamalai to spread lies about the work of a journalist," and said that instead of touching upon the rights and feelings of journalists, "it is better he practices to deal the journalists in a civilised manner".

The Tamil Nadu president K Annamalai tweeted about Durga Devi, along with her pictures on Sunday.

However, BJP state president and firebrand leader Annamalai, who was seen as one of the party’s strongest candidates in the state, was trailing by over 1 lakh votes to the DMK’s Ganapathy Rajkumar in Coimbatore.

In a social media post on Sunday, BJP State president K. Annamalai demanded an explanation on the way the police were handling the case from Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, who is in charge of the police portfolio.

Meanwhile, AIADMK leader and former minister S.P. Velumani claimed that Annamalai played the spoilsport, adding that his arrogance led to the snapping of ties between the two partners leading to losses for both the parties in the Lok Sabha elections.

Meanwhile, for the BJP, an aggressive campaign led by Prime Minister and state BJP president K Annamalai, who lost from Coimbatore, failed to translate into electoral success.

The issue was brought into the limelight again in 2024 by the BJP’s Tamil Nadu president K. Annamalai before the general elections.

While arithmetically, it is difficult for the BJP to win the seat, the dynamic presence of party candidate, Annamalai and regular visits by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Tamil Nadu have given lot of mileage to the party in the constituency.

AIADMK MLA Semmalai said making false allegations will not help Annamalai’s political career.

The rift between the allies AIADMK and has widened up and the remark of Tamil Nadu BJP Vice-President K Annamalai stands as a testament to it.

The Managing Committee along with the members got an opportunity to meet, greet and felicitate two great personalities of Tulunadu, Dr Y. Bharat Shetty (MLA from North Mangalore) and K. Annamalai (IPS) on 5th October at Salmiya Play School.

Annamalai said that US-affiliated leadership needs accurate predictions from climate models due to these extreme patterns.

The agency had last month arrested promoters of Annamalai Industries, manufacturer of MDM brand of gutkha (a tobacco and ‘pan masala’ concoction) and some government officers in connection with the case.
