The DMK government in Tamil Nadu seems to be going on a witch hunt against the BJP.

Following the removal of BJP flagpole outside BJP Tamil Nadu President K. Annamalai’s residence in Chennai, the Tamil Nadu police on 21 October 2023 arrested the party’s Sports and Skill Development Cell President Amar Prasad Reddy.

He was reportedly arrested in connection with the attacking and damaging of a JCB machine that was brought to remove the flag pole in Chennai.

A video posted on social media shows Amar Prasad Reddy being taken into custody by police officials from his residence.

Amar Prasad Reddy is also the joint coordinator of Annamalai’s En Mann En Makkal (My land, My people) yatra which has been garnering an unprecedented response across the state.

After Tamil Nadu police laid siege to BJP Tamil Nadu President K. Annamalai’s house in Chennai, Amar Prasad Reddy lambasted the DMK government on his social media.

Mr. Annamalai’s residence located at Panaiyur, Chennai has a tall BJP flag post just adjacent to the compound of the house.

According to BJP functionary Vivin Bhaskaran, a few local groups had opposed the installation and hoisting of the BJP flag.

BJP Tamil Nadu’s State Treasurer S.R. Sekhar in his social media post alleged that a 100 people belonging to the Muslim community had  gathered opposite Annamalai’s house and protested for the removal of the flagpole.

Hundreds of police and officials had come and a crane was used to bring down the tall BJP flagpole. According to sources present at the site, police initially called both the parties for talks but later resorted to lathi charge on BJP cadres. BJP functionary Vivin Bhaskaran was grievously injured and a video of him being carried by police officials has gone viral on social media.

Posting a picture of Vivin Bhaskaran, Amar Prasad Reddy said “BJP IT Wing State Secretary Vivin Bhaskaran was severely injured in yesterday’s protest to save the BJP flag pole. Tamil Nadu Police have become the agents of DMK.“

Here are few other posts where he had targeted the DMK and MK Stalin government.
