“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.

Edited photo of Actor Prakash Raj taking dip at Maha Kumbh Mela goes viral, complaint filed
Bengaluru: Actor Prakash Raj on Tuesday clarified that a photo of him taking a holy dip at the Maha Kumbh Mela, which is doing rounds across social media platforms, was fake. The multilingual actor has filed a police complaint against the miscreants in this regard.
The digitally manipulated image was posted by an account named Prashant Sambaragi, captioned: "Actor Prakash Raj at the Kumbh Mela. He bathed in the Triveni Sangam. Let's hope that his sins are washed away." The image also bizarrely showed the actor’s hand blending into an artificial design, suggesting the use of AI editing.
Taking to ‘X,’ actor Prakash Raj clarified that it was fake news. He stated, "Fake news. The job of the cowardly army of the 'False King' is to spread fake news and defile even their holy worship. A police complaint has been filed. Let's see what they do in the courtroom."
