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.

Sources said Annamalai met BJP national president Nitin Nabin and Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Tuesday. Following these discussions, he is expected to formally resign from the party in the coming days.
While a new political outfit is reportedly on the cards, sources indicated that such a move may not happen immediately. However, preparations for an independent political path are believed to be underway.
