Big Twist In South Politics: Most Promising Leader Moving Away!
South Indian politics have historically been very conservative in nature, and that is the reason why the BJP was never able to have a strong footprint in the South Indian states.
By: Tupaki Desk | 2 Jun 2026 9:12 AM ISTSouth Indian politics have historically been very conservative in nature, and that is the reason why the BJP was never able to have a strong footprint in the South Indian states. However, the party found a significant leader in the form of Annamalai, who was one of the primary leaders for the BJP in Tamil Nadu. He also happened to be one of the most respected leaders within the BJP leadership.
However, things are changing now as the latest development are suggesting that this former IPS officer who joined the BJP is now contemplating a switch in political terms. Annamalai, the former Tamil Nadu BJP president and one of the party’s most visible faces in the South, has decided to submit his resignation from the BJP. Apparently, he is expected to formally convey his decision to party chief Nitin Nabin in Delhi on Tuesday according to multiple senior BJP sources who are closely following what’s happening.
Annamalai, who will reach Delhi on Monday night is expected to meet Nabin to formally place his decision on record. Reliable sources in the BJP said he has already made up his mind and that the Delhi visit is intended not merely as a political meeting but also as a gesture of gratitude towards a party with which he spent the last six years of his public life.
This is one of the most unexpected decisions, considering that Annamalai was seen as the feature of BJP in South India, but he is now likely to launch his own political party in Tamil Nadu. Funny, how things can change so quickly in politics.
