Former Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai has resigned from the primary membership of the Bharatiya Janata Party
June 5, 2026: In a major political development, former Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai resigned from the primary membership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday. The announcement comes amid weeks of speculation regarding his future within the party and reports of differences over political strategy and organisational matters.
Annamalai, one of the BJP’s most prominent faces in Tamil Nadu, played a key role in expanding the party’s presence in the state. During his tenure as state president, he led several campaigns, strengthened grassroots outreach and emerged as a vocal critic of the ruling DMK government.
His resignation is expected to have significant political implications in Tamil Nadu, where discussions about his next move have already gained momentum. Political observers are closely watching whether Annamalai will remain active in public life independently or announce a new political direction in the coming days.
