The biggest news of this time is coming out from the politics of Tamil Nadu. Former state president of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) K. Annamalai suddenly resigned from the party on Friday. He submitted his resignation to BJP President Nitin Naveen, which was immediately accepted. Interestingly, Annamalai had met the country’s Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi only two days ago, and her resignation coming just after this meeting has created a stir in the political circles.

Honorable farewell and preparation of new strategy

According to information received from sources, Annamalai did not want any kind of conflict with BJP and was looking for a respectable farewell. Now there is talk that he is going to start a non-political movement based on ‘nationalist-Tamil philosophy’ in Tamil Nadu. It is believed that in future this movement can be converted into a political party on the basis of public support and public sentiments. Annamalai is going to hold a big meeting with his very close and core supporters on June 7, after which he can officially announce his future strategy.

Complete timeline of Shah’s meeting and resignation

This entire political drama had started a few days ago. If we look at its timeline:

  • 2 June: Annamalai reached Delhi and met Home Minister Amit Shah.
  • June 5: Annamalai’s resignation was officially accepted.

In fact, there were reports of rift between Annamalai and the top leadership of BJP for some time and four major indications of this had already been received. Given Annamalai’s tremendous hold among the youth of Tamil Nadu, all political parties are now eyeing his next step. At the same time, it is also discussed that RSS wants Annamalai to remain continuously active in public life.

BJP faces huge loss due to Annamalai’s departure!

According to political analyst Sumanth C. Raman, Annamalai’s departure can prove to be a big blow for BJP in Tamil Nadu. Annamalai had strengthened the BJP in the state through his ‘En Mann, En Makkal’ march. The result of this was that BJP’s vote share in Tamil Nadu increased from just 3% in 2021 to 11% in 2024. However, in 2026 this graph falls again to 3%. In such a situation, Annamalai’s next step will decide the condition and direction of the state’s politics. Let us tell you that Annamalai had joined BJP in the year 2020 and after exactly 6 years, he said goodbye to the party.

BJP defeated in assembly elections, actor Vijay’s TVK creates rebellion

The results of Tamil Nadu Assembly elections were very disappointing for BJP, where the party had to be satisfied with just 1 seat. In contrast, Tamil cinema superstar Vijay’s just 2-year-old party ‘Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam’ (TVK) made a historic performance in the elections, winning 108 seats. This storm of actor Vijay’s party was so strong that it even left behind the total seats of the two big giants of the state, DMK (59 seats) and AIADMK (47 seats).
