Tamil Nadu BJP President, K. Annamalai, ignited a new political offensive against the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government, signaling an escalation in his ongoing crusade to challenge the state's dominant Dravidian powerhouse.
Known for his unrelenting criticism and bold political maneuvers, Annamalai with a post on X hash tagged 'Get Out Stalin' - exactly at 6 a.m. as vowed by him yesterday, outlining a comprehensive charge sheet against the DMK. He lambasted the government for "the high-handedness of one family," and accused the cabinet of being "tainted" and an "epicentre of corruption". He further highlighted issues such as lawlessness, Tamil Nadu's transformation into a "haven for drugs and illicit liquor," mounting state debt, a "dilapidated education ministry," and a "precarious environment for women and children".
This post, accompanied by a link (presumably to further details or evidence), serves as the opening salvo of his latest campaign, framing the DMK as a government that has lost its moral and administrative legitimacy. This post, accompanied by a link (presumably to further details or evidence), serves as the opening salvo of his latest campaign. This episode, he said, is against DMK's threat to launch 'Get Out Modi' campaign.
Within a few hours, it became a top 'trending' tweet on social media.
Talking to party supporters and the media yesterday, he accused the DMK of a litany of failures that he claims have plunged Tamil Nadu into a state of disarray. This new campaign, unveiled through a fiery speech and amplified by a social media post early this morning, marks the latest chapter in his mission to dislodge the DMK from power in the 2026 assembly elections.
In his address at a public meeting organised by the BJP's district unit on February 19, Annamalai pulled no punches. He accused the DMK of "indulging in disinformation campaigns" to mask its administrative shortcomings, specifically targeting their stance on the language policy. He refuted claims that the BJP-led Central Government is imposing Hindi, asserting that the party advocates for a third language — be it Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, or any other — alongside Tamil, in line with the New Education Policy's emphasis on native-language education. "The DMK is spreading misinformation to divert attention from its failures on multiple fronts, including poor law and order," he declared, setting the tone for his new campaign.
