SINGHAM ANNAMALAI AT TAMILNADU
NEW CHAPTER IN DRAVIDIAN POLITICS?
SARASIJ MAJUMDER
Annamalai – THE BEGINNING:
Full Name: Kupuswamy Annamai. Meaning of Annamalai is a Knowledgeable person. It is
one of many names of Lord Shiva.
1.
Date of Birth: Jun 06, 1984
2.
Qualification : Bachelor of Engineering in 2007 from
PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore. Obtained
MBA degree at IIM Lucknow in 2010.
3.
A 2011 batch IPS officer; served as a Civil
Servant in various locations for eight years. He was fondly called Singham
Annamalai in Karnataka.
4.
In 2019, Annamalai resigned from Indian Police
Service when he was Deputy Commissioner of Police in South Bengaluru.
5.
In 2020, he joined BJP.
PRESENT ACTIVITIES :
He's the
State President of Bharatiya Janata Party.
1.
He delivers meaningful speeches in public forums,
as an Opposition leader.
2.
He started speaking the truth, and corruptions
about DMK and its principles at length. He’s been releasing DMK's corruption
files, in a phased manner. he's explaining the general public about DMK and its
corrupted politics, in detail
3.
he's bringing out the facts of the corrupted
ministers in DMK (e.g. Senthil Balaji)
4.
He’s been doing Pada Yatra in the
State, covering all the 234 constituencies with the name My Land My People (‘என் மண் என் மக்கள்’).
5.
So far, Annamalai’s pada yatra has
generated a lot of interest and curiosity among the old, as well as young generation of Tamil Nadu, for different
reasons. Old generation is used to seeing only Dravidian parties dominating the
political landscape of Tamil Nadu during their life time. Young people have
welcomed Annamalai’s initiative and expressed their support for his agenda of
development and nationalism. People in the State are now keenly watching what Annamalai says, in his pada yatra.
6.
Annamalai is now the one of the major leaders in
TN politics as he's getting people's ear
and, may be support.
OUTCOME:
1.
Only because of the leaders like Annamalai,
people in the State came to know the real politics of Dravidian parties which
ruled the State for more than five decades; and also, about their corrupt
politics, in the past, and present.
2.
And that's why everyone likes the speech of this
young leader Annamalai wherever he goes in the State, during his yatra.
3.
Last but not least, even with the media people,
the leader Annamalai maintains friendly relationship whenever he meets them,
right from the beginning. And that's why national party BJP is growing steadily
in the State towards laying a strong foundation in the State.
EFFECT
ON 2024 ELECTION:
1.
BJP is very strong in Coimbatore and Kanyakumari
. In both Kanyakumari and Coimbatore BJP
is assured a minimum of 30% votes.
Annamalai s Yatra would have only increased it.
2.
To avoid the vulgar slandering in future
DMDK& PMK may try to choose BJP as alliance. Desiya Murpokku Dravida
Kazhagam (DMDK) is not a major party in TN but commands a good vote share.
3.
At this stage, the BJP's only ally in Tamil Nadu
is K. Krishnaswamy’s 'Puthiya Tamilagam.'. Ottakarathevar Panneerselvam’s 'All
India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (OPS)' may join the NDA as we get closer
to elections. With Annamalai emerging as a face of the BJP in Tamil Nadu, the
saffron party can anticipate an increase in vote share, but that is not
guaranteed to translate into seats in TN.
4.
Mr. JP Nadda, should endeavour to bring as many
small parties in TN as possible into the NDA fold.
WHAT EMERGE:
BJP’s potential tally in TN
will fall between 2 and 5..If NDA
secures 10 seats from TN, it would be a significant morale booster and better
position for NDA to compete the next
assembly election in the sate.
Jai Hind.
