BJP might be very strong in the Northern belt. But one has to accept the fact that the party has no ground in the southern states
By: Tupaki Desk | 15 Feb 2024 7:05 AM GMTBJP might be very strong in the Northern belt. But one has to accept the fact that the party has no ground in the southern states. In particular to Tamil Nadu, no national party is strong there and the Bharatiya Janata Party is no different. The party is not strong in the state.
It's not that there are no popular faces in the party. Despite this, the party could not grow. Gautami is one such leader BJP had. Her stint with the BJP is over two long decades. She put an end to this and left the party last year. Gautami said that she was betrayed and she left the part for this.
Months after leaving the BJP, Gautami joined the opposition party in the state All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). She met party General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami and formally joined the party.
After leaving the BJP Gautami was not active in politics. Many felt that she might not take any political path. But she surprised everyone by joining the AIADMK. The party shared the news officially.
It has to be mentioned that AIADMK ended ties with the BJP in 2023. Due to certain issues, both parties ended their ties. While the main reason behind this is not known, BJP Tamil Nadu chief Annamalai is said to be the reason behind this.
Now Gautami joined the AIADMK months after leaving the BJP. The new development became the talk of the town in state politics. The veteran actress who appeared to be inactive in politics for some time came up with big news.
However, what strength Gautami brings to the party is the question here. She was with the BJP for around 25 years and she was an active member even during the Rath Yatra. But she never contested any elections except for campaigning. Will she stick to the campaign or will she get any post? We might get clarity on this soon.
