The BJP will become a force to reckon with in Tamil Nadu after the 2021 Assembly elections, former IPS officer Annamalai Kuppusamy, who joined the party two days ago, said on Thursday.
Addressing reporters on his maiden visit to the party office here, Annamalai said BJP will the pave way for a new era of development in Tamil Nadu and the younger generation would extend support to the party in the next year polls.
