Annamalai set to exit BJP soon, may launch new political party after Delhi meetings: Report

Former Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai is expected to step away from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) within the next few days following key meetings with senior party leaders in Delhi. The former IPS officer is preparing for a new political journey and could eventually launch his own political party, TOI reported, citing sources. The development comes amid reports of growing differences between Annamalai and the BJP leadership over the party’s strategy in Tamil Nadu.
