The BJP on Thursday named its candidates for nine Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu, fielding former Telangana governor Tamilisai Soundararajan from Chennai South and party state unit chief K Annamalai from Coimbatore.
State Secretary of the Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), SG Suryah, speculated to be the frontrunner for the South Chennai MP seat, released a video affirming his support and commitment to the party’s decision to field Tamizhisai Soundararajan. In the video shared on his official X handle, he conveyed a heartfelt message to his supporters, garnering widespread appreciation and winning their loyalty.
He praised Dr.Tamizhisai Soundararajan, acknowledging her pivotal role during her tenure as the Tamil Nadu BJP head. Suryah credited her for providing him with opportunities, including his appointment as the Youth Wing leader and official spokesperson for the TN BJP. He expressed gratitude for the chances she afforded him, which contributed to his current standing.
He pledged to dedicate himself tirelessly for the next 28 days leading up to the election date of 19 April 2024, specifically focusing on South Chennai. He aims to campaign vigorously for the chosen candidate, ensuring Tamil Nadu contributes significantly to Prime Minister Modi’s target of securing 400 seats in parliament this year.
Highlighting the significance of the South Chennai seat, he listed eminent MPs who have represented the prestigious constituency in Parliament, including TT Krishnamachari, Nanjil Manoharan, DMK’s Annadurai, former President Venkatraman, Murasoli Maran, and Vyjayanti Mala.
Describing the South Chennai constituency as the heart of Chennai, Suryah highlighted its significance, boasting over 20 lakh voters. Humbly, he attributed all his efforts in the constituency over the years to the party’s welfare. Acknowledging the party high command’s decision-making prowess in selecting candidates during election time, he vowed to intensify his campaign efforts for Tamizhisai, surpassing even his hypothetical candidacy. He expressed gratitude to party workers for their unwavering support and urged them to ensure Tamizhisai’s victory in the election.
The caption for the video he shared read, “I’ve only two people in my life now. One is my mother & the other is my party #BJP! Yes, I expected the #SouthChennai ticket & was very open about it. But my party has other plans in store for me. I declined the offer to consider contesting from other seats because I want to groom ONE constituency & want to be identified with the same for next 4 to 5 decades. From tomorrow till April 17th I will be walking in all the streets of South Chennai seeking vote for our beloved Akka @DrTamilisaiGuv! Inviting all volunteers interested to work towards the goal #Tamilisai4SouthChennai! Let’s clinch South Chennai for BJP.”
