In an exclusive interview, Congress leader Karti Chidambaram discussed K. Annamalai's decision to quit the Bharatiya Janata Party and launch a new political movement in Tamil Nadu. Chidambaram stated that Annamalai has realized "the BJP will not be an acceptable political platform in Tamil Nadu because they don't understand Tamil Nadu culturally or politically." He described Annamalai's departure from a powerful national ruling party as a "ballsy move" but cautioned that building a new organization is a long-haul game.
Chidambaram noted that the political landscape in the state is already competitive, observing, "The market is rather crowded in Tamil Nadu." He predicted that Annamalai's initial supporters would primarily be his existing followers migrating from the BJP, rather than individuals leaving other established regional parties. Chidambaram emphasized that the success of this new movement, tentatively named We the Leaders, will depend on grassroots organization, electoral alliances, and the specific issues Annamalai chooses to champion in upcoming elections.
