Joining BJP backfired on former IPS officer K Annamalai, says Minister Shivaraj Tangadagi
Koppal: Kannada and Culture Minister Shivaraj Tangadagi has opined that former police officer K Annamalai’s decision to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) backfired on him as he is likely to lose the Tamil Nadu State President post now.
The minister, who spoke to reporters in Koppal on Saturday, said that Annamalai had been highly regarded in Karnataka for his excellent service. “Things went bad for him once he joined the BJP. We have even seen videos of Annamalai whip himself standing in the middle of the road. Now, the situation is worse for him,” he added.
Tangadagi, who is also Koppal District In-charge Minister, said that the BJP always attempts at cheating people, citing the poll promises made by the national party to credit funds to people’s account and provide jobs.
“In addition, the leaders of the party follow a use-and-throw policy. I too was supported by the BJP when I was an Independent candidate who had won the elections. The leaders had offered me any post in the Cabinet except that of the chief minister. After proving the majority in the Legislature, however, they kept all the prominent ministries and offered me one of the least regarded posts in the Cabinet,” he recollected.
“The BJP plays with people who are inexperienced in politics and cannot see through their tricks. It has anyway been cheating the public, given that it does not wish the position of the poor to improve. The leaders’ only aim is to see their children rise and grow,” the minister alleged.
