Voices of disapproval over the leadership style of Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai have begun to emerge within the party, with some accusing him of resorting to one-upmanship and taking unilateral actions. However, his supporters back him, arguing a perception has gained ground that the organisation was growing politically in the State ever since he took over its reins.
A section of seniors and second line functionaries feel sidelined and “humiliated” by Mr. Annamalai, who took over as president of the party’s State unit in July last year.
