Is there a success story to Annamalai's political movement? Rajdeep Sardesai says Annamalai may believe he can be like Vijay — a first-day, first-show box-office hit in politics — but also understands his limitations and the political space he occupies. He adds that if Annamalai grows stronger politically in the future, the BJP could look to align with him at a suitable stage. #BJP #TamilNadu #Annamalai #Politics | Suyesha Savant

Options in front of Annamalai! Option 1 - Staying with BJP! Annamalai could stay with BJP, become the star campaigner + seat-sharing negotiator for NDA, and push hard to bag seats worthy of the 11.24% he earned in 2024. If the alliance is victorious and a coalition government is formed in 2026, I wouldn’t be surprised if Annamalai lands a bigger role within the party, possibly regional or even national. But this is highly unlikely to happen. Option 2 - Launching his own Tamil Nadu based political party! Annamalai also has the option of launching his own party and testing his strength in 2026 (my assessment: around 6% – 8%). He could even manage a few MLAs, and in a hung assembly, play kingmaker. By 2029, his party could align with BJP again and back PM Modi’s quest for a fourth term. Option 3 - Quitting politics! Annamalai also has the option of stepping away from politics altogether, choosing a peaceful life with his family. If the betrayal and backstabbing in Dravidian politics clash with his values, he could focus on his passions - organic farming and cattle rearing. Having said the above, as far as I know from observing and interacting with him, Annamalai is neither someone who likes to be in a relegated position within the party nor a quitter. Can’t wait to see what Annamalai does next — I’m as curious as everyone! K.Annamalai

VIDEO | Chennai: On Annamalai's resignation from Bharatiya Janata Party membership, Congress MP Karti Chidambaram says, "I think Mr Annamalai realised what we all knew much earlier. I've always said that the BJP does not understand Tamil Nadu culturally and politically, and it has very limited purchase in Tamil Nadu. After six years, he has realised that he will not be able to move ahead politically by being part of the BJP. So he has to break free and perhaps start an organisation of his own. " "This is a natural culmination of events because Mr Annamalai is not an RSS product; neither is he a Swayamsevak nor a man from the Sangh Parivar organisations. He was a civil servant who entered politics after serving a few decades in the civil service and was looking around at various political parties. At that time, as he has also alluded to in his statement, he decided to join the BJP. His experiment with the BJP has now come to a natural end because he has come to the conclusion, which we all knew from the beginning, that the BJP will have very limited purchase and very limited acceptance in Tamil Nadu. In order to move further in Tamil Nadu politics, this was a ballsy move by Mr Annamalai, a bold move..."

Annamalai claiming that #We_The_Leaders would champion "Healthy & Ethical Politics" is one of the most ridiculous things ever. Even those who worked closely with the him would not agree with this. He allegedly amassed enormous wealth while serving as the BJP state president, there are reports that he owns a real estate company in Bengaluru. And the way he ran BJP war rooms—releasing personal videos and audio recordings of members from his own party— solely aiming to sideline his rivals within the party is well known to the public.. Annamalai's attempt to portray himself as clean by not attacking the TVK government is a strategy to woo youngsters who have little knowledge about him. In my opinion, Annamalai is worse than DMK and AIADMK combined TVK Vijay TVK Party HQ #Annamalai #TVKGovt #CMJosephVijay‌ #CMVijay

Annamalai has realised something which I have always known—that the BJP has very limited acceptance and purchase in Tamil Nadu. And if somebody wants to move ahead in politics, the BJP is not the right vehicle. It has taken Annamalai five to six years to realise that…It's a gutsy move; I wish him well…I think he joined the BJP only because Mr. Rajinikanth did not form a party, and Mr. Annamalai doesn't come from the Sangh Parivar—he's not from the RSS, and he's not an ideologue in the Hindutva sense. He was only a lateral entrant to the party, and after five years, he has realised that this party has no future in Tamil Nadu, and he himself has had very little success within the party…”
