“Who’s Annamalai?, does BJP exist in Tamil Nadu” Subramanian Swamy’s takes jibe at his own party
Chennai: Senior BJP leader and former Rajya Sabha Member, Subramanian Swamy, made a satirical comment on his own party's performance in Tamil Nadu during an interaction with the media. Responding to a reporter's query about BJP’s TN President Annamalai, Swamy questioned the existence of a BJP presence in Tamil Nadu and asked, "Is there a party called BJP in Tamil Nadu? Annamalai? Who is he?"
Swamy's remark came in response to the reporter's question about Annamalai being referred to as the 'Singam' (Lion) of Tamil Nadu and his potential for growth. Swamy's sarcastic comment questioned the party's strength and impact in the state.
The video of Swamy's remark is now circulating widely on social media platforms, drawing attention and generating discussions about the state of the BJP's presence in Tamil Nadu.
This is not the first time Swamy has criticized his own party. The veteran leader has expressed his disapproval of the saffron party under the leadership of PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, on multiple occasions in the past.

Explosion near CRPF School in Delhi caused by lit cigarette butts: Report
New Delhi: The investigation team that probed the explosion that took place outside the CRPF School in the Prashant Vihar area of the city on October 20 morning has reportedly not found any terror force behind the blast.
The investigation team, consisting of Delhi Police and staff members from central agencies, has stated in its report that cigarette butts thrown by a local resident might have come in contact with industrial waste and have caused the explosion. Circumstantial evidence does not show the incident to have a terror angle to it, reports The Indian Express.
The Delhi Police, the city bomb squad and the fire brigade had rushed to the spot following the explosion, which was initially believed to have been caused by a crude bomb. The forensic experts who inspected the spot hinted at the presence of potassium chlorate, hydrogen peroxide and some electrical wires there. The school wall had been damaged and the windows of a car nearby had shattered in the explosion.
The investigation team scanned the CCTV camera footage and zeroed in on around 10 people questioned. A senior police officer said that a North Delhi-based businessman from Prashant Vihar was found to be present at the spot around five minutes before the explosion, as he had come there on Sunday morning to walk his dog. The CCTV footage showed him smoking and, after questioning him, the team concluded that he had left lit cigarette butts before leaving the spot, the officer added.
The spot where the explosion took place is learned to have been usually used for dumping garbage and also has a public urinal.
An officer has said that the Delhi Police had consulted forensic and technical experts of the National Security Guard regarding the things found on the explosion site but are yet to get the report. The officer added that they have found no detonator so far.
