BJP Drops Annamalai From Tamil Nadu Poll List

The BJP released its list of 27 candidates for the 2026 Tamil Nadu elections, but former state chief K. Annamalai was excluded. Sources claim he strongly disagreed with the BJP-AIADMK seat-sharing deal. While party leaders stated this was a high command decision, Annamalai confirmed he remains a loyal worker and will continue supporting the party in other roles.
