Overview
- The BJP said National President Nitin Nabin accepted K. Annamalai’s resignation from the party’s primary membership on Friday.
- Annamalai travelled to New Delhi earlier this week and met senior leaders including Amit Shah and B.L. Santhosh before submitting his resignation to the central leadership.
- He scheduled a noon social‑media interaction on Friday to explain his decision publicly and to set out his next steps.
- Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagenthran said he had not received any resignation letter, highlighting a gap between state officials and the party’s national office.
- The departure follows the NDA’s poor performance in May’s assembly elections and sources say Annamalai plans a ‘We The Leaders’‑based people’s movement to train young leaders that could convert into a new political party and alter vote dynamics in the state.
