The Bhartiya Janata Party in Tamil Nadu under the leadership of Annamalai has made significant inroads in the state. They have launched a strong battle against the lies peddled by Dravidian parties and the image created about Prime Minister Modi among the Tamil people.
Annamalai’s educational credentials with his former tenure as IPS officer has attracted different strata of people. His articulatory ability with the non-corrupt image has drawn numerous youngsters to the party.
His victory began with the reopening of temples which were shut by the state government citing covid regulatory norms. One large protest in Chennai made the HRCE minister to issue orders in opening the temples within few days.
The BJP has begun getting a grip of the Tamil Nadu mainstream news media primarily because of the party President’s no-nonsense approach in the press meets. His pointed rebuttals and the ability to throw counter questions posed with facts has jittered the journalists friendly to the ruling DMK.
Strengthening the social media team has helped the party to stall deceptions created by the biased media houses, journalists and paid influencers. The party went a step ahead in legally assisting Shibin, non-party member who was falsely framed for posting content against ruling state government in social media. They had also lent support to other voices of dissent like Maridhas.
Choosing the path of peaceful protest across the state and approaching the courts in ordering CBI investigation for the unnatural death of Lavanya has proved leadership the ability of Annamalai.
The party’s decision to contest independently in the urban local body elections has excited the entire state unit with many youngsters and deserved candidates in the fray. Party members have now been given an opportunity to take the Modi Government’s schemes door-to-door and also expose the fallacies of the DMK government.
Relentless campaign by party members across the state, arousing reception by people and opportunity for thousands of youngsters aspiring to become clean political leaders will be landmark in the history of Tamil Nadu.
A substantial improvement in vote share is predicted. This urban body election would signal the arrival of a new BJP and would be an important breakthrough for the party in Tamil Nadu.
