**BJP Tamil Nadu Chief K Annamalai Affirms Commitment to AIADMK Alliance**
Former BJP Tamil Nadu chief K Annamalai reaffirmed the party’s dedication to its alliance with AIADMK, countering claims that he is undermining the partnership. Speaking to reporters, Annamalai emphasized, “The BJP does not deceive or allow itself to be deceived. We do not take from others or undermine any party for our advancement, nor do we allow ourselves to be misled.”
When questioned about his perceived lack of support for the BJP-AIADMK alliance, Annamalai challenged critics to provide evidence of his opposition. “Where have I spoken against the alliance? I never mentioned power sharing; that was stated by India’s Home Minister. Did I claim to have a role in the alliance? I have maintained my silence for three months,” he stated.
Addressing accusations regarding his absence from AIADMK’s yatra, Annamalai defended his choice, asserting, “Why should I attend uninvited? When I initiated my yatra, former AIADMK ministers participated. When they began theirs, our State President and other leaders joined. I am a karyakarta; I respect my position and will not intrude as an unwanted guest.”
Annamalai also dismissed speculation about his aspirations for the General Secretary position, stating he has never pursued such roles. “Have you seen me chasing after a post? I referred to the State President position as an onion; if you peel it, there’s nothing inside. Let’s focus on our responsibilities,” he remarked.
He reiterated that he had no involvement in the formation of the alliance and remains steadfast in the decision he made in 2021 when he joined the BJP. “I did not contribute to forming this alliance. I stand by the position I took in 2021,” he concluded.
