Annamalai, referring to “criticism against Tamilisai Soundararajan by Left parties and the DMK” for joining the BJP after holding the office of Governor, said persons holding exalted posts quitting office to start working again for the public as an ordinary person is possible only in the BJP.
“A person belonging to a political party other than the BJP will not quit high offices. For them, being in politics is meant only to assume top positions,” said Annamalai.
“She functioned very well as Governor. Quitting that position and joining politics again shows Soundararajan’s love for the people,” he added.
“Her joining the BJP again shows her commitment to the party; her determination that her work should also contribute to strengthening the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he assumes office for a third time in a row,” Annamalai said.
Soundararajan resigned from the BJP before assuming the office of Governor of Telangana in 2019. She was appointed Lt Governor of Puducherry in 2021.
Sixty-two year old Tamilisai Soundararjan is a gynecologist and she joined the BJP over two decades ago.
