Madurai,
CDR Nirmal Kumar, who was the state president of the information technology wing of the BJP, left the party two days ago and joined the party after meeting the interim general secretary of the ADMK, Edappadi Palaniswami.
Following Nirmal Kumar, BJP Information Technology Division State Secretary Dilip Kannan also left the party and joined AIADMK. In this case, some people who left AIADMK led by Annamalai, who came to Madurai to condole the death of O. Panneer Selvam’s mother, joined the BJP. After that Annamalai who met the reporters said,
I have come to condole the death of Panneer Selvam’s mother. There was a time when the political arena in Tamil Nadu was wondering if someone from the Dravidian parties would come and save the BJP. But now it is the BJP that is leading the development of some Dravidian parties.
BJP is growing. We are creating leaders. Whoever quits BJP, I will congratulate them and send them on their way.
I am the leader. I will be what a leader should be. Some of the results may shock some. The party will be experiencing vibrations.
Every reaction in politics has a reaction. The reaction of the reaction seen now may take place in another 2 or 3 months. That is how a political party can grow.
No matter who leaves the party, BJP’s strength will not diminish. He said that he will congratulate whoever leaves and send him on his way. I am the leader and will be what I want to be. He said, “I am not going to worry about anything. The party will experience vibrations.”
I did not come to eat dosa and idli in Tamil Nadu; my decision will be the same as Jayalalitha and Karunanidhi. In Tamil Nadu there are no leaders who have been attacked like me. My aim is to put BJP in power in Tamil Nadu.
New change is needed in Tamil Nadu politics and BJP will bring it. The results of the by-elections will not be reflected in the parliamentary elections. We will announce it when the time comes to compete separately.
This is what he said.
