Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) party leader Seeman recently expressed his admiration for Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai, praising his pursuit of education. Annamalai had just returned from the United Kingdom after completing the prestigious Chevening Gurukul Fellowship for Leadership and Excellence at Oxford University. Seeman lauded Annamalai for his maturity and patience, noting that his recent speeches have left a positive impression on him.
In a press conference held in Tiruppur, the NTK chief Seeman praised Tamil Nadu BJP president Annamalai, saying, “I welcome his pursuit of education and wish him all well. That’s all. Everyone says now, he speaks with patience and maturity. In the same way, I believe we should send some people here to the places where he studied — that could be beneficial too.”

Seeman also discussed various political issues in the state and commended actor Vijay for his efforts to aid those affected by the floods in Panayur. Seeman acknowledged Vijay’s noble intentions but warned that his visit might lead to potential issues due to the large crowds it would attract.
Seeman also critiqued the quality of government infrastructure, stating, “If a flyover built by the government collapses, it reflects the administration’s incompetence.” Responding to questions about Minister Ponmudy’s recent controversy, Seeman remarked, “If you wash it, it will go away,” suggesting that it would not bring about any real change in people’s lives.
On central funding, Seeman raised questions about the allocation of resources, saying, “Where is the money for the government ruling India? The state government provides revenue to the central government. Why should the state continue to contribute if the central government does not release funds? Are they afraid of the Enforcement Directorate?”
Commenting on the ongoing case of Minister Senthil Balaji, Seeman quipped, “Three courts for one case. It’s a game for the powerful, and we, the common people, can only watch.”
Seeman also voiced concerns about the Gail gas pipeline project, questioning why it should pass through agricultural lands in Tamil Nadu when it could be routed via road from Kerala. He raised concerns about the potential risks to farmers in case of an accident.
Regarding the controversy surrounding the Kangeyam bull statue, Seeman suggested, “Once the administration changes, you can place the statue wherever you like.”
