Summary:
In a recent political showdown in Tamil Nadu K Annamalai the President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state launched a scathing attack on former AIADMK minister CVe Shanmugam. Annamalai accused Shanmugam of being a “vasool” minister suggesting that he was primarily concerned with collection rather than genuine governance. Annamalai did not mince words stating “He remained a minister only to make collection. Rather than engaging in a war of words Annamalai opted to focus on his political agenda. Huge crowds are turning up for my padayatra.” Annamalai has been actively conducting padayatras (political rallies on foot) across the state gathering support from the youth and local communities..
