Annamalai's exit triggers more resignations On Friday, Annamalai submitted his resignation from the BJP, ending weeks of suspense over his political future.
BJP national president Nitin Nabin accepted his resignation from both the party’s primary membership and organisational responsibilities. In his resignation letter, Annamalai said he had joined the BJP inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and to change Tamil Nadu’s political culture. While expressing gratitude to the party leadership for entrusting him with key responsibilities, he revealed that he had conveyed his disagreements with the top leadership over the past 18 months. “After my conversations with our senior leadership, I have come to the conclusion that our views don’t align regarding Tamil Nadu," he wrote.
Describing his next step as the "next phase of his public life and political journey", Annamalai called on young people and ordinary citizens to rally behind him. After he stepped down, BJP suffered more setback after two leaders also walked out of the party. BJP state vice president Karu Nagarajan and State Secretary Sumathi Venkatesh tendered their resignations.
