EP-151 | The Rise of 'Singham' K Annamalai: A 'Game Changer' for BJP in Tamil Nadu

The 39-year-old Annamalai Kuppusamy is making his parliamentary poll debut in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, contesting for the Coimbatore seat. Known for his aggressive style of politics, K. Annamalai is credited with the rise of the BJP in Tamil Nadu. Unafraid to speak his mind, he confronts the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu directly and doesn't spare his former ally, the AIADMK. Some even attribute the breakup between AIADMK and BJP to his influence.
An engineering graduate, Annamalai pursued management studies at IIM-Lucknow. Hailing from Karur in western Tamil Nadu, he served as an IPS officer in the Karnataka cadre from 2011 to 2019. Joining the BJP in 2021, he was elevated to become the party’s state president, making him the youngest president of the Tamil Nadu unit.
In the latest episode of the ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, K. Annamalai discusses the BJP's prospects in Tamil Nadu for the upcoming polls. He confidently predicts that the BJP will secure double-digit seats in the state. Furthermore, he criticizes DMK's A. Raja and Udhayanidhi Stalin for their anti-Sanatan remarks.
Annamalai also delves into topics such as tax devolution to Southern states, delimitation, and his reasons for transitioning into politics. He also addresses the longstanding Cauvery water conflict between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu and shares his insights on the potential impact of artificial intelligence on society.

I am a Marwari (Rajasthani) living in Chennai. I would say that K. Annamalai sir is the next Prime Minister of India, or in layman's terms, he is MODI 2.0 who can take the country to the next level. It will be shameful for the youth of Tamil Nadu if K Annamalai sir loses the next election just because of fans, laptops, cycles, and other items which other parties will give for free for the elections.

[@sidharthvyas7870]

Dekhiye yaha bhasa ya wo kya pehne hai wo jaruri nahi hai hamare liye. Wo tamilian hai so wo Tamil culture ko follow karenge or hum marwadi hamara culture follow karenge. Ye alag baat hai ki agar hum kahi or reh rahe hai to us jagah ka culture b addobt karte hai par khud ka culture nahi bhulte. Yaha Jaruri baat ye hai ki uski idiology kesi hai. K Annamalai sir ki idiology bilkul Modi jesi hai so me use Modi 2.0 bol rha hu or logo ko bol raha hu ki usko Vote de. Abi bhi current Govt Hindu (Sanatan) ko bimari mante hai or openly public me bolte hai ki Sanatan ko is desh se khatam kar dena chahiye. Ab wapas aa jate hai apke bhasa or marwadi wali baat pe... Ek baat bataiye agar TN ki current Govt kisi marwadi ko Election me khada karde to aap kisko Vote doge ? Marwadi ko jo current Govt ke liye khada hai ? just because wo marwadi hai or marwadi bhasa bolta hai ya K Annamalai ko ? Jawab dene se pehle ek baat jan lijiye agar Marwadi banda jeet bhi jata hai tab b waha chalegi to current Govt ki soch hi, kyu ki hai to wo bhi unke under hi.

I am the biggest fan of Shri Annamalai. I am from Maharashtra and I love Tamilnadu and great Tamil culture and history. The reason am.the fan of shri Annamalai ji is because I am 200 percent confident that it is not possible to get better candidate than Annamali for TN, he is the only one who can TN to greatness, and he is our next PM after Mdi ji. I can donate everything I have for Shri Annamali to become CM
