Well-known actor Gautami Tadimalla on October 23 said she was ending her 25-year association with the BJP, alleging among others, support from a section of the party to a man who had allegedly cheated her.
Despite the party "rescinding" in the last minute, its assurance to give her a ticket in the 2021 Assembly polls in the state, she remained committed to the BJP, Tadimalla said in a statement uploaded on her X account.
She said she has decided to resign from the party with a "heavy heart and disillusionment" and tagged BJP national president J.P. Nadda and the saffron party's TN chief K. Annamalai among others in her social media post.
