BJP’s Tamil Nadu IT Wing chief CTR Nirmal Kumar on Sunday lashed out against the party’s state president K Annamalai and quit the saffron organisation. Within hours of announcing his resignation, he met AIADMK interim chief K. Palaniswami and joined the main opposition party against coalition dharma.
- Nirmal Kumar alleged BJP state chief engaged in “surveillance” against many
- Annamalai is keen on infusing young blood in the party ranks and this has resulted in nearly 60 percent of the posts being held by those below the age of 30 years
Incidentally, AIADMK is the major partner of BJP-led alliance in Tamil Nadu
In a statement uploaded on his Twitter account, Kumar charged the party’s state leadership with showing scant disregard to party workers and even alleged Annamalai engaged in “surveillance” against many, a charge denied by a close associate of the leader.
“There is nothing more demeaning than rejoicing at the surveillance of own party members and functionaries,” Kumar, a Madurai-based party worker, said.
The BJP was not even 20 percent of what it was in 2019, before Annamalai took over, he alleged.
