PM Modi Has Not Extended Support to Any ‘Political Movement’: Nainar Nagenthran Amid Annamalai’s Resignation
Senior BJP leader dismisses speculation linking PM Modi with any new political movement in Tamil Nadu following K. Annamalai’s resignation.
Summary
Senior BJP leader and former minister Nainar Nagenthran on Thursday categorically stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not given support to any ‘political movement’ in Tamil Nadu.
The statement assumes significance amid intense speculation following the resignation of Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai. Some sections had claimed that Annamalai’s exit could be linked to a larger political plan backed by the Prime Minister.
Nainar Nagenthran dismissed such rumours and said, “PM Modi has not extended support to any political movement in the state. The BJP is focused on strengthening the party at the grassroots level and working for the development of Tamil Nadu.”
He urged party workers to remain united and avoid getting distracted by baseless narratives. Nagenthran added that the party’s priority is to expand its reach across the state and prepare effectively for future elections.
The clarification is being seen as an attempt by the BJP’s central leadership to control the narrative and project unity in Tamil Nadu after Annamalai’s unexpected resignation. Further updates on the state unit’s leadership and strategy are expected soon.
