Annamalai's New Political Movement Gains Massive Attention

This is one of the biggest political news from Tamil Nadu – formation of new public movement called "We the Leaders" by former BJP leader K. Annamalai. The proportion of its membership reportedly hit over 13 lakh people within 24 hours of its launch, making it one of the fastest-growing political movements in the state this year. Thanks to the overwhelming response, An namalai had a "profound sense of responsibility" whereupon he thanked the supporters.

The development follows days after Annamalai had officially quit BJP. His departure has led to much political hue and cry over his new venture in Tamil Nadu as several BJP workers and leaders are reported to have joined or expressed their support for his venture. The resignation has also given food for thought to the BJP's state unit, which Tamil Nadu's BJP chief Nainar Nagendran urged party members to stay with the party.

Elections are scheduled from the year 2019 in Tamil Nadu, and political experts hope the moves made by Annamalai will overhaul the political landscape in the state. There is doubt that “We the Leaders” will become a political party, but there is a strong possibility that it may become a larger political platform. The real question everyone is asking is if Annamalai can become a political force backed not just by his own show of popularity and social media fans, but by his followers across the nation.
