BJP team to visit T.N. to study ‘harassment’ of cadre

BJP national president J.P. Nadda on Sunday constituted a four-member party delegation, which will visit Tamil Nadu where BJP workers are suffering due to the “brutal and irrational behaviour” of the government, a release from the party said. Former Karnataka Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda, MP Satya Pal Singh, BJP Andhra Pradesh president D. Purandeswari, and MP P.C. Mohan, are the members. The delegation will submit a report at the earliest, party national general secretary Arun Singh said in the release. Welcoming the move, BJP Tamil Nadu president K. Annamalai said the DMK had “only displayed fascist tendencies since it came to power in 2021”. He said the BJP’s social media functionaries were being constantly harassed and arrested on frivolous charges. He expressed confidence that the delegation would bring to light the “excesses” of the government and “gross misuse of power” in the last 30 months.
