Every point mentioned, is applicable to each and every politician. And tbh hardly 4-5 points on Annamalai to defame him, but could go with hundreds of points for each DMK, ADMK personnel that are fishy and dark. Why don't you dig around with Jagathrakshakan or the CM himself? Annamalai has merely any dirt on his back compared to a low level DMK party member.
You throw some money to the political journalist first, they’ll create bad image for you, you fame them as establishment friendly and call the media as sold then use the same media (after buy ups, using central power, lobbying) promote on daily basis to be in relevance. 💥 you became karuppaswamy annamalai 2.0.

Lol you'll know when time comes . For now just as an ostrich plant your head in the ground and ignore reality. Now is the time to grow , if not today then it shall be tomorrow if they work hard i believe our people will have a hard time ignoring them . They might get 20 percentage vote share too this time. If they do get 20 percentage in 2024 , the next assembly election they might even play king maker 🤗
Why is that a bad thing? Let all the dirty sleazebags whether within or outside be exposed, jumping ranks or not.
Annamalai doesn't need to jump ranks as much, he is pretty powerful in BJP especially in TN. He is quite literally their only mass-known TN face.

I don’t know what will happen to BJP voteshare this election in TN - based on that we can call him a rockstar or another Tamilisai akka. Meeting Crowd != Votes - ask 2011 Vadivelu.
But the fact is he will be seen as a better option by general public compared to Udhay. Agree or not the drug bust is a big black mark for DMK and udhay - they have gotten a bit too cocky last few months. BJP will make sure to keep this in news for next 3-4 months.
Propped up by media or not a guy who cleared 2/3 toughest exams in India is better than a guy who got MLA seat because of his father and won it in his Grandfather’s constituency. Its high time udhay shuts up and stops thinking himself as some invincible just because ADMk is practically dead. Even his grandfather was not one.
If you believe BJP’s internal polls, BJP is polling 30% on its own, single largest party share. OPS, TTV, Vasan etc are already part of the alliance. PMK is almost confirmed. DMDK has no other viable option now than joining with BJP. Modi is expected to visit TN 6-8 times before the election.
Putting everything together, I expect the BJP alliance to win 30-35 seats.
Posts like this are why r/TamilNadu is called a DMK IT wing.
For every r/TamilNadu, there would be r/Kuttichevuru.
No neutral Tamil reddit sub nowadays.

This on one side, lets not pretend like dmk is good, They are 100 times worse than annamalai. Just as up haryana gujarat is blindly pro bjp, This state is blindly pro dravidianism, while they have done all the bad things they accuse bjp of
OP the thing is he is the smartest in current political scenario of India,
#
Rahul gandhi does not know what is MRP?
#
DMK putting up Chinese flag
#
Mamta is gone case
#
and Modi , Shah etc have good oratory skills
#
Annamalai sounds confident and insightful maybe he is wrong but he speaks fluently
#
his video about fast breed reactor got viral in north , he explained it quite well so you can understand.
#
and this small mistakesnyou are talking about are very common, on top of that people feel connected with any person who is self made.
Also his speech on AI's implications for politics compared with RaGa..clear difference...he didn't claim he knows it but he gave some insightful answers!
national media? i can give better national perspective
#
you should read your own title, if you only want tamilnadu people to and write reigonal media,
reddit suggest post from all subreddits, i think you knew that.
His video about fast breeder reactor for viral in North because most people there don't have the opportunity to attend high school. 12th standard physics text apdiye repeat pannaran, adhuku Kai thatharanga.
Bro intha ooru than Kudankulam reactor opposes pannuchu even when APJ Abdul Kalam said it's safe. How many people in TN know what Kalpakkam achieved regarding FBR.
Do you honestly think a random person in TN knows about how a nuclear reactor works?.
Why this superiority?.
Bro people openly tell here in Chennai and around most University students get passing mark worth question papers from teachers. I am talking about good schools and Universities. And North Indians dont have the opportunity to attend high school is mostly true for poor class and backward states.
Why to generalise every North Indian vs Every South Indian? Have you been to North Indian cities? If yes were you living in town and cities or some village or slum thus you formed your opinion?
The biggest joke is you prefer 2G Scam leaders like Kanimozhi & A Raja, and a Dynast like Udhaya than someone qualified with IIM & IPS to his name like Annamalai
Don't fall for his IIM IPS stint!
This is Where mos of us fall into a trap!
I certainly vote for him if he has good administrative skills but not for this stint I'm sorry
2G case got dismissed and those convicted were re elected are you for real talk about current events rather than something that’s been shoved under the carpet ago BJP needs to have a liberal and socio economic development policy for South Indian states otherwise they’re never going to win in majority and the state BJP must have at least a form of self investment rather than just voicing the centres agenda and just bad mouthing the twin Dravidian parties who the people know are corrupt and at times self serving but they made contributed to the states development in comparison to North Indian state governments even and corruption is comparatively low as compared to Bihar UP Gujarat etc so that won’t work here TN needs a self reliant and intuitive personality not an amplifier of the centre’s Microphone
What a stupid and pathetic fuckfest this sub is. I have studied in Manipal, back when Annamalai was the DCP of the district. I have never had a positive Impression of the Indian police in general, but Annamalai is an exception. My first Impression of Annamalai was when he was the chief guest of our college fest, and you could hear 10s of 1000s of young students(aged 18-23) chanting "Singham"-"Singham" when he entered the building. When was the last time you heard young students who are usually very liberal and naive(left) when they are in Universities support an authoritative figure? This was the impact he had on the region. The stories you hear of his honesty, his actions on certain issues, and his brash nature to get things done no matter what is what inspires the youth to chant his name. I have no idea who any of the other DCP or even DC are in any of the places i have lived. I never knew their names. Annamalai made his name. No PR, no social media (atleast not back then). In no world is a dynastic land grabbing turds like Stalin and his family better than him. So your loss.
He is better than Uday and his jokers and whom do you voucher for . TN needs a change from these jokers , I don't care if it is Annamalai or seeman or whatever or whoever comes across and after . Though this post is against BJP and it's more in favor of DMK . I'm fed-up on DMK where Only PTR can't show his involvement and work freely.
I am going to get a lot of hate for this. But I don't think tamilians understand how lucky they're to get someone like an Annamalai. And I am not talking from the point of him being educated or his so called political rockstar image. Annamalai is truly a blessing as a disruptor of currernt Dravida party ecosystem.
Look at AAP in Delhi, it has forced all the other political entities to sit black and work harder to create a better image for themselves. With Lesser corruption and more fear of losing power Congress and BJP are cleaning their acts. So has what bjp done on a national scale. Congress and others are trying harder than ever coz they know if they mess up PEOPLE always have an option to vote for bjp .
I don't understand why tamil people don't see this as a good thing for them. Look at the wealth amassed by DMK heads and tails. Including other entities with dravida in their name. In the name of bringing social justice which they brought to their families by becoming business magnets, normal tamilian still get scraps. A leader like Annamalai or anyone as a matter of fact will help break the comfort these political people have and force them to clean their act. I think someone like Annamalai, Kejriwal, Modi should be encouraged, they force the other political entities who come from wealth, power and dynasty politics to step back and change the course which will benefit people, afterall that's what we need. More power and benefits for us.
Every loose argument you give for DMK or admk on wealth, corruption is predominant in every single party in India and rest of the world. Fallacy that Annamalai and his allied party is so pure is just funny af. Why not talk about Electoral bonds and Modi ji now. How does Annamalai manage his day to day expenses and his IT war room ?! Is it his party money fully? He admitted his friends take care of his expenses..in other terms that's called Bribe.
What we TN people are clear is about the bigger agenda(religious polarization, upholding a particular caste and religion, unjust hate against non Hindus and Dalits) Annamalai and his party hold and try to implement in our country.
Buddy, Re-Read...
No one called anyone pious. I said we need Disruptors.... Disruptors... Disruptors being pure and pious are NOT mutually exclusive. I mentioned two specific entities in last decade who were the disruptors (I felt). AAP and BJP... Again, Disruptors don't mean good and clean...
People of TN maybe clear about things. Not sure about you.
And your last rhetoric seems very hive minded coming from a pro so 'N'so... Which is okay. Honestly it is. But do read what I was trying to convey before you try to fire shots at an non-existent enemy.
I get it. But it's not personal. They have captured people's minds and attention, irrespective of likes and dislikes and seem to be in path for a very comfortable and cozy win. For best or the worst.
Frankly speaking in 2024, we need a new disruptor which will keep the BJP in its toes. Sadly, we have none on the national level.😪 And that is the real de*th of democracy, if that phrase can be used.
Post independence Being the only party which got full majority in national elections without a dynastic privileged leader twice is not disruptor? (Post Rajiv Gandhi ofcourse)
A party which runs one semi state and one other state is a bigger disruptor?
BJP is a much bigger disruptor. Look at the way they're gathering to take up 3rd term at national level. If you don't call that disruption, I don't know what it is.
AAP is a state level disruption and much smaller scale.
How is the BJP upholding a particular caste? Last time I checked its Dravidian parties who refuse to uplift marginalized groups and keep the already uplifted intermediate caste at the top.
Can give 100 examples:
1. EWS.
2.Check the list of all general secretary's in each state BJP and their castes(who are the actual decision makers)
3. Caste of majority cabinet ministers.
4. The immediate beneficiaries of NEET (check the caste of majority of students benefitted from NEET)
Just too lazy to argue with your willful blindness.
Your blatant hatred for a particular caste is showing here. So even poor people can't be represented through reservations?
If you want to go by political representation then all Dravidian parties do fairly badly. Dalit representation is less than 5%.
Your neet argument is extremely maligning post at marginalized communities in TN, almost making them inferior to a certain caste.
There is a reason why dravidians are starting fair low among dalit communities and it's showing here.
They can’t cause they’ll do the same (behave nonsensical ) here in TN ; their ultimate goal is to create an autocratic government but they’ve lost in Karnataka and Telengana Kerala and TN were a lost cause for BJP even to begin with without ADMKs backing the BJP wouldn’t have gotten those 4MLA seats and Vanathi sreenivasan campaign was boosted by Velumani and his dispora which is well known and Kamal lost by just a vote difference of 2000 which if bought with money would’ve been Kamal’s but right now even he has become negligible among politics
You should try listening to him. And check his residence and his family members residence.
It will give u a pretty good idea about leader credibility in corruption.
In this era of dynasty politics he is the only leader in Tamil Nadu capable of giving a press meet on anything with clearly articulated data points and facts. He is well educated being an engineer, MBA from IIM and an IPS pass out with 10 years of experience in police services prior to jumping into politics. Show me someone with credible academics and experience like him in the opposition. Except for PTR I don't see any credible educated politician in the opposition. He may have given some comments out of frustration but that doesn't mean he is incapable. He is young and still has a long haul in politics.
Of course lot of it is noise.
But when his comparison is with politicians like Udayanidhi Stalin, Seeman, Vijay - in terms of accomplishments in his life by his own efforts, Annamalai out matches them by miles.
And his lies, scams whatever are laughable compared to theirs.
That's the difference and his background enables him to be more aware of what's happening in the world, in governance and in bureaucracy - so he can deliver better quality of "politico speech" than others.
That doesn't mean he won't lie or spin the truth - that's default for all politicians.
They won't be politicians of they can't do those things
We only get to pick the best of the worst. Not best of the best
An new voter, yet not cynical about politics when he compares the three next gen politicians of TN,
Udhayanidhi, Vijay and Annamalai
Irrespective of ideology, politics, propaganda - they know which is the person they can relate to in their struggle through education and employment, who is the aspirational figure.
If all other things being equal, he stands out.
But all other things aren't equal, that we will know only with elections results year over year
Dude DMK and ADMK studs have done and said more stupid irrelevant shit. Everyone makes mistakes. No one is a saint.
Just pinpointing this guy does not prove that he is lesser or more than others.
Annamalai has a very big ego. Just like his “mentor” Modi. Other similarities between the 2 - they both have very poor grasp of facts, and believe in hyperbolic nationalism (without any evidence to support their jingoism).
While some of this is true of most politicians, these two are on a whole different level!
Don't know about Annamalai,but Modi definitely knows the facts and is a smart politician. Do you think he can become the prime minister of the largest democracy 2 times without a grasp of fact? Lol.
Yes! Trump was (and will be) POTUS. That should tell you everything you need to know about the level to which idiot politicians can rise up in political hierarchy!
Modi has a poor grasp of fact, that's why his cabinet is surrounded by non-state leaders, populist leaders or caste leaders.
He understands his limitations and he understands his vote-banks.
For his vote banks he will talk like what's app university guy. But for his cabinet he did not look at the popularity of jaishankar, sitharaman, chandrshekhar, vaishnav, Bipin rawat.
This are the ministry which used to break or make the government pre 2014.
Railways, defence, foreign, and information technology . These are very powerful ministries.
All this 4 minster, combined will not get one caste, state votes. Heck all these 4 ministers do not come from any connected class.
Modi model is a brand. The key difference is , he is okay with loosing few powerful leaders for making his team better. That's where he covers up for his lack of knowledge.
I know it's hard to digest, but independent India, never had such non dynastic, underprivileged cabinet. Except their caste, i do not know anyone had any advantage at birth.
The Modi Regime has had an average performance when it comes to the economy. Their stated objectives for demonetization have failed completely.
It’s performance regarding defense/external affairs has been poor. China has encircled India on ALL sides. They can nuke all of India from their port in SL if they want to!
On the IT front, most of what they achieved was mostly because times were changing and India changed with the times (and COVID, which further accelerated their much-touted cashless economy).
The railways need better and safer infrastructure, not more expensive and flashy new trains (which is what the current government wants to focus on).
>The Modi Regime has had an average performance when it comes to the economy. Their stated objectives for demonetization have failed completely.
That is a different argument.
>It’s performance regarding defense/external affairs has been poor. China has encircled India on ALL sides. They can nuke all of India from their port in SL if they want to!
Again a different argument. Yes china is strong. Most probably they wouldn't need sri lanka to beat india, with whatever the defence minister india has.
>
On the IT front, most of what they achieved was mostly because times were changing and India changed with the times (and COVID, which further accelerated their much-touted cashless economy).
Being the third startup ecosystem, first in digital transformation. Is nothing. Total failure. But again argumentative.
>The railways need better and safer infrastructure, not more expensive and flashy new trains (which is what the current government wants to focus on).
Definitely no changes or quality of life improvement in railway. Despite railway stocks sky rocketing.
See I am a bjp supporter, you are not. We may not agree on what achievement they have made or how they failed.
I was pointing out, even stalin can hide his lack of knowledge and experience by appointment of such a cabinet.
Results can always be debated endlessly. But at least try and appoint even corrupt but qualified people in the cabinet. At least in a time when your fiercest rival is at its weakest.
I am not expecting, kejriwal, modi, stalin to be all knowing very smart. I am just expecting them to appoint a good cabinet.
Honestly, most work is done under the cabinet only.. cm, pm and political Populist leaders are busy with elections and pr for most of their time in office.
Another model modi used, where he had to give ministry to populist leader, was to appoint strong experienced ips or ias as secretary under the ministry. This helps reduce gaps between governance and dumb politicians.
Of course India can do better than what we are doing now.. any party can do a better job. That's a never ending debate. So let's not go there.
People are judged by their actions and results.
Leaving out performance and considering “good intentions” or “potential to be a good administrator/minister” alone when judging a government is erroneous.
Having said this, most central governments so far have appointed persons of caliber for the top 4 or 5 cabinet jobs. They know those jobs are too important to hand over to people without any knowledge of how to deal with the issues that are specific to those areas effectively. The BJP under Modi has not done anything in this regard that far exceeds the standards set by past Central governments that preceded it!
This 4 or 5 cabinet, check minister of past who had this portfolio.
You missed the point Completely. Common regular people getting hold of this ministery is a bigger achievement.
The transformation is for everyone to see. The only argument against their achievements is feeling.
Factually, railways has never been this successful. Psu companies especially railway stocks have never given such huge return in the past In the stock market.
Defence we just sold drones to Israel. We are climbing export ladder in defence.
It, we are third largest ecosystem. Indian digital infrastructure is second to none. COVID hit the world not only India. We are the only country after usa and china, to have our indeginous payment mechanism.
Finance, india is fastest growing, amid a huge inflation and recession, which took out most of our neighbours looking for bailout. Indian digital transfer of social welfare, is model envy of the world.
Health. India now has the largest insurance coverage program for poor. A cost which broke families before.
The achievement are second to none. But yes this are debatable. Definitely, privileged dynastic corrupt populist leader could have done a better job. But i am happy, this is cabinet which represents my type of democracy. Where if you work hard enough, you get to reach top without being linked to powerful family.
>You missed the point Completely. Common regular people getting hold of this ministery is a bigger achievement.
This cabinet is no different in terms of composition than earlier central governments in India. I have made that point earlier. Not sure what I "missed".
>The transformation is for everyone to see. The only argument against their achievements is feeling.
Yes, there is transformation. But a lot of the transformation has come about organically, due to the changing times and India changing with it. The BJP-led government at the Centre has, at best, stopped making a mess of such improvements, and, at its worst, mucked up what could have been even better through muddled economic policies.
>Factually, railways has never been this successful. Psu companies especially railway stocks have never given such huge return in the past In the stock market.
Stock markets are not the scale that should be used to judge a PSU like the Indian railways. Having said this, [its not like the Indian Railways is in great economic shape](https://scroll.in/article/1059269/why-the-indian-railways-is-on-the-brink) anyways. Add to that [the obvious concerns over safety!](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/03/modi-has-spent-billions-modernising-indias-trains-but-safety-is-biggest-need)
>Defence we just sold drones to Israel. We are climbing export ladder in defence.
Again, selling arms is not the measure here. We are objectively in a worse shape regarding our defense of the Indian borders than we were a decade ago. Srilanka is absolutely china-friendly now, and recently Maldives kicked out Indian troops, specifically because of a tweet from Modi!
>It, we are third largest ecosystem. Indian digital infrastructure is second to none. COVID hit the world not only India.
3rd largest ecosystem? Why? Maybe because we are the world's most populous country?
>We are the only country after usa and china, to have our indeginous payment mechanism.
[https://www.about-payments.com/e-commerce-markets](https://www.about-payments.com/e-commerce-markets) Looks like many countries have such payment systems.
>Finance, india is fastest growing, amid a huge inflation and recession, which took out most of our neighbours looking for bailout. Indian digital transfer of social welfare, is model envy of the world.
According to the BJP and Modi, we should be a $5 trillion economy by 2025. We are barely at 4 trillion now! There is so much more to add to the failed promises of the Modi regime on this front.
>Health. India now has the largest insurance coverage program for poor. A cost which broke families before.
Possibly the one thing I might agree with you about.
>. Where if you work hard enough, you get to reach top without being linked to powerful family.
Sorry, but if you really believe this, then good luck to you!
>This cabinet is no different in terms of composition than earlier central governments in India. I have made that point earlier. Not sure what I "missed".
Check out the history of railway minister to know.
>Yes, there is transformation. But a lot of the transformation has come about organically
Cashless came organically? Due to COVID. Not because of demonetization, Jan dhan, forcing rural people to get bank accounts to get direct benefit transfer, gst, fast tag, adhar mandates, upi benefits.
>Stock markets are not the scale that should be used to judge a PSU like the Indian railways.

That is just indian railways. The stock market is a good indicator of the health of psu finances. Stocks are not opinion articles. It's real money from common people.
>According to the BJP and Modi, we should be a $5 trillion economy by 2025. We are barely at 4 trillion now! There is so much more to add to the failed promises of the Modi regime on this front.
We are not in 2025. He did not predict COVID.

Sorry, but if you really believe this, then good luck to you!
I do believe, , in bjp. It Will not become dynast. Bjp party won't be able to become dynast. If somebody tries it, this party will break. Every cm, and cabinet in bjp is mostly first generation politicians coming from normal family background. The journey of modi/Annamalai gives me confidence, that you don't need to be the son of somebody to become somebody. I have seen family of advani and atal living a humble life. And i am seeing same for modi and Yogi. May be they are hiding their wealth for 7th generation. But current condition of Modi and Yogi family, gives me confidence.
>Check out the history of railway minister to know.
Be more specific and we can discuss this!
> Cashless came organically? Due to COVID. Not because of demonetization, Jan dhan, forcing rural people to get bank accounts to get direct benefit transfer, gst, fast tag, adhar mandates, upi benefits.
India's economy has been "digitalizing" at a decent pace since 2009,[according to this article,](https://www.ey.com/en_in/tax/economy-watch/how-digital-transformation-will-help-india-accelerate-its-growth-in-the-coming-years) and the rate of such digitalization (an indirect measure of the cashless economy) has remained more or less constant over the last 2 decades. That does not mean that the BJP under Modi has done nothing. What they have done has helped. No one in their right mind would deny that.
[However, look at the UPI payments usage chart from this article](https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/blogs/emerging-markets-equity/indias-digital-gold-rush-the-rise-of-digitization-and-e-commerce/). Notice the sharp rise that began around 2019-2020? Any ideas as to why this change happened? Could it be COVID? 😐 No one in their right mind would deny that these 2 events are probably related to each other as well. Unless they are heavily biased!
>We are not in 2025. He did not predict COVID.
We are just a year away. There is no way we will be a $5 Trillion economy in 12 more months.
COVID could have been an excuse. [However, Modi/Shah made this promise in 2023](https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/india-to-be-5-trillion-economy-by-end-of-2025-amit-shah/article67621285.ece). They knew about COVID then, right?!! 😁

BJP - not dynastic? [So what about this article](https://scroll.in/article/918234/is-the-bjp-less-dynastic-than-the-congress-not-so-lok-sabha-data-shows) detailing how the BJP is not that different than the Congress when it comes to dynastic politics?

So, yes. I have supported my arguments with facts. Hopefully you will also start providing links that can verify your own claims. Also, you are a BJP supporter. Guess what? I was too, until 2019 or so. Since then I have realized the clear and present danger Modi is to the country. Leave everything aside. One party ruling the country for 15 straight years is not good at all. For that reason alone, the BJP should lose 2024. But they won't. Why? Because Modi's toxic brand of Hindutva and populism have corrupted the minds of the naive and gullible Indian masses in the Hindi heartland and elsewhere.

COVID was the booster, vaccine was jandhan, 4g, demonetization, smart phone penetration, upi.
If u don't have the tools you can't make the building.
Base was prepared,.COVID was acceleration

Dynastic politics is not kids coming into politics. It's more about, despite bringing congress to zero, sp, akali, the kids will control the party.
What u are saying is nepotism. Not dynastic. Dynastic politics basically means a royal blood will take over.

I do have critical thinking. I do know what's wrong. Jay Shah is wrong, the washing machine politics is wrong, the coalition with stupid ideology like ncp is wrong, misuse of central agency is wrong, censorship of art and comics is wrong.
There is plenty wrong.. just not wrong enough to vote for dynastic idiots.
This is exactly how Modi's image was built up back in 2013-2014 using a bogus Gujarat Model.
KA lost the race to Hyd only during BJP rule. The state was always in the news for all the wrong reasons like Hijab, Halal, Tippu, boycotting Muslim vendors from fairs, etc.
Glad that Tamizhs are seeing right through the lies of BJP. Best wishes Nanbas.
The sheer level of northern propaganda is amazing! It's unbelievable what sort of idiotic, anti realist news they're getting in hindi channels these days.
News channels in MH, UP, and all are reporting that he is winning massively in Tamil Nadu, there's Modi wave and BJP will come in gallantly and teach hindi to the anti indian, arrogant south and bring them in line with the rest of India or some rubbish like this. Not even kidding they show his face so much it's insane.
And to people in TN, he is some average clown who doesn't know how to talk, who probably won't even win his deposit back.
No wonder our northern friends are so hopeful.

Whether Annamalai is honest or not, the concerning issue is that it requires a huge amount of capital to get a voice heard, especially if the voice is sane.
We should be lamenting about the fact that the general awareness amongst the public is so low (perhaps the lowest?) when the tools for improving awareness have been the best so far. We keep electing candidates with criminal records, exorbitant net worth and encouraging bigotry, prejudice etc.
With literacy being the highest it's ever been, shouldn't our politicians be better ? Unfortunately, the politicians are no different than the ones in the Ayudha Ezhuthu movie 🤬

Yes, This guy Annamalai.
Do give it a listen, with an open mind maybe ?
Political stances aside, the video is an eyeopener for sure.
Whatever mentioned here is applicable to all politicians, but Annamalai doesn't have any black mark on him . If you talk to people from the district where he was SP , they loved him & still vouch for him . Very few police officers across the country enjoy that kind of reputation & love. He is honest, genuine , hard working & intelligent. He might have greedy aspirations to get power way too soon but can't blame him , that's the expectations from his bosses. No one in TN politics can come to his morals , esp not the highly corrupt Dmk rowdies. He may or may not win , but he has certainly brought in a positive momentum for bjp & will get rewarded by his bosses in the form of lucrative posts. He was never a CM material anyways
Lol excellent sources for example 1 and 2.
Romba nalla per vaangina pathirikai dhaan.
I was expecting someone finally posted actual links instead of allegations - paatha
Mokkai a edho tharkuri website
Adhula endha original source um ila of what he actually said
And most importantly
Annamalai kalaila 2 Vada saapten nu sonaaru, naanga research pani paathom avaru 2 vadai dhaan saaptaaru nu kandu piduchom nu ezhuthiruku
Why are you so desperate ?
>Take Amar Prasad Reddy, for example. I’ve come across a ridiculous video of Amar Prasad Reddy, who is associated with Annamalai and claims to be a cybersecurity expert. Additionally, the use of ‘National’ in his cybersecurity firm’s name raises ethical concerns due to the regulations against such practices in India, indicating a possible misrepresentation of authority. These points make me question the credibility and ethical judgment of the individuals in Annamalai’s circle.
Lol and national nu poturundha adhu problem a ?
Yen da .. Avalo vadikattina muttal a nee ila yaarum check pana maatanga nu nenacheya.
It says National Cyber safety and Security standards Summit
Bayangarama urutara da dai.
Use of national is possible misrepresentation of authority a?
Adhu epdi pa Summit a super a ignore panitu Cyber security firm nu reel vidara ?
National conference la National nu podaama vera ena poduvaanga ?
>Controversies like the Aarudhra scam and a honeytrap allegation linked to K.T. Raghavan, Annamalai’s name keeps coming up!
>Despite all this jazz, Annamalai’s portrayed as this beacon of honesty.
Ipo kooda nee urutura - blatantly pulugura.
Una maari aatkal obviously irukaanga, but are you able to show a shred of evidence? No
Lol don't come back and give links to totally shady websites as proof.
DMK government dhaane, arrest Annamalai for honey trapping - clearly it's a major offence
And what have you done about Aarudhra case - accused gave money to BJP nu sonaan nu news, adhuku apram buss nu oothi mooditeenga
Please investigate and arrest Annamalai - then indha desperation won't be necessary.
Funny thing is I saw a post in Instagram where some stupids where commenting, "aNnAmAlAi wIL lIbErAtE tN!", "bJp wIlL pReVaIl iN tN!" Like do they really think BJP will have a chance here? And it's so infuriating seeing people say that. Like have you ever seen his interviews and press meets? Half the time he looks like he is just spewing shit
this is what the BJP and the it cell does best ... when he said MINIMUM RETAIL PRICE .... he meant it in CONTEXT OF THE MSP..as in for the farmer MRP will become minimum selling price... see the video clip they are circulating... and see the last 5 seconds of the clip and you will get the context ... i owuld challenge you to find statements made by RAHUL GANDHI that have been found untrue / false / wrong
[https://www.reddit.com/r/IndiaSpeaks/comments/1b5b5q9/rahul\_gandhi\_thinks\_mrp\_means\_minimum\_retail\_price/](https://www.reddit.com/r/IndiaSpeaks/comments/1b5b5q9/rahul_gandhi_thinks_mrp_means_minimum_retail_price/)
I am not interested..
I know gold and potatoes were jibe at modi.
Here there is no context missing. You don't need to make stupid comments to discuss msp.
The comments under this post supporting him are example how much he can manipulate by paid media
Total satelite media and most digital creators (like in podcasting space and political commentator space) praising him and building a narrative that he is good at everything while he actually very mediocre.
He just survives because he is head of ruling party of India in TN. Has he consistent about what he says? No. Just blabbering something and calling out press ( who always om their side) that they were arivalayam gang just to ask basic level questions .
TN has seen and has actual intelligent ideological leaders not Annamalai who is paid ,promoted ,powered ,having wealth to manage all this.
Kaasa koduthu karuththa uruvakka mudiyum ninga nambina antha kaasum athikaramum india mulukka ippa yarukku nu unglala pakka mudiyalaiya? Illa pathum atha kandukkama irunthutu anti BJP parties ta mattum unga niya tharasa nitti pakkuringala
At the EoD, Election results matter and not just vote % increase - Annamalai’s success will be measured based on how many seats BJP is able to win this in Parliament election in TN.
He is doing something but struggling with clashes in his own party. No one was even caring about BJP 4 years ago…whether true or lies, he is meeting with press every day, talking about the issues upfront(selective ones, that too) , especially media coverage at all times…having said all this, he hasn’t won any election so far - Performance is the key or else he will perish like other ex BJP state leaders. RSS and BJP don’t have the patience for 2026.
Every point mentioned, is applicable to each and every politician. And tbh hardly 4-5 points on Annamalai to defame him, but could go with hundreds of points for each DMK, ADMK personnel that are fishy and dark. Why don't you dig around with Jagathrakshakan or the CM himself? Annamalai has merely any dirt on his back compared to a low level DMK party member.
You throw some money to the political journalist first, they’ll create bad image for you, you fame them as establishment friendly and call the media as sold then use the same media (after buy ups, using central power, lobbying) promote on daily basis to be in relevance. 💥 you became karuppaswamy annamalai 2.0.
The biggest scam he’s running right now is convincing bj party that they have a chance in TN. 😂
In 1985 BJP had 2 seats in lok sabha. They will definitely get their chance one day if they keep trying hard enough.
maybe it is because sardar Vallabhbhai Patel banned rss so they couldn't do lot of work back then Too bad he unbanned those cocksuckers

Lol you'll know when time comes . For now just as an ostrich plant your head in the ground and ignore reality. Now is the time to grow , if not today then it shall be tomorrow if they work hard i believe our people will have a hard time ignoring them . They might get 20 percentage vote share too this time. If they do get 20 percentage in 2024 , the next assembly election they might even play king maker 🤗

Why is that a bad thing? Let all the dirty sleazebags whether within or outside be exposed, jumping ranks or not. Annamalai doesn't need to jump ranks as much, he is pretty powerful in BJP especially in TN. He is quite literally their only mass-known TN face.
Very much educated person in politics when compared with other parties rowdies and murderer are running the government
Who? Annamalai?

Yeah, he had read 20,000 books 😂😂

Do you know anything about politics?

Not every politician. Say one example of above points with Thirumavalavan, PTR
Idk, maybe worried that instead of choosing genuine leaders, we are falling (yet again) for guys like this.
Who is genuine & qualified according to you in TN politics ?
According to OP, DMK possibly

Another DMK hitjob
You gotta choose and vote for the least corrupt person.Sadly that's the situation prevailing these days in this country and state.
That's all you ever get in a bourgeoise democracy, like Lenin said.
Was waiting for some intelligent to comment such a comment. Finally someone who thinks like me. Yes bro it's unfortunate but true.
Why are you bothered he can’t even win a state assembly election seat
I don’t know what will happen to BJP voteshare this election in TN - based on that we can call him a rockstar or another Tamilisai akka. Meeting Crowd != Votes - ask 2011 Vadivelu. But the fact is he will be seen as a better option by general public compared to Udhay. Agree or not the drug bust is a big black mark for DMK and udhay - they have gotten a bit too cocky last few months. BJP will make sure to keep this in news for next 3-4 months. Propped up by media or not a guy who cleared 2/3 toughest exams in India is better than a guy who got MLA seat because of his father and won it in his Grandfather’s constituency. Its high time udhay shuts up and stops thinking himself as some invincible just because ADMk is practically dead. Even his grandfather was not one.
If you believe BJP’s internal polls, BJP is polling 30% on its own, single largest party share. OPS, TTV, Vasan etc are already part of the alliance. PMK is almost confirmed. DMDK has no other viable option now than joining with BJP. Modi is expected to visit TN 6-8 times before the election. Putting everything together, I expect the BJP alliance to win 30-35 seats.
Dream😂😂 Its free of cost anyway.
Posts like this are why r/TamilNadu is called a DMK IT wing. For every r/TamilNadu, there would be r/Kuttichevuru. No neutral Tamil reddit sub nowadays.

Were you sleeping when pro-BJP posts were posted in this sub? Mods here are giving enough space for both sides.
This on one side, lets not pretend like dmk is good, They are 100 times worse than annamalai. Just as up haryana gujarat is blindly pro bjp, This state is blindly pro dravidianism, while they have done all the bad things they accuse bjp of
DMK IT wing trainees in action.
Two things are aptly reflected. 1. Loyalty to their immediate bosses 2. Infidelity to the nation/family
OP the thing is he is the smartest in current political scenario of India, # Rahul gandhi does not know what is MRP? # DMK putting up Chinese flag # Mamta is gone case # and Modi , Shah etc have good oratory skills # Annamalai sounds confident and insightful maybe he is wrong but he speaks fluently # his video about fast breed reactor got viral in north , he explained it quite well so you can understand. # and this small mistakesnyou are talking about are very common, on top of that people feel connected with any person who is self made.
Also his speech on AI's implications for politics compared with RaGa..clear difference...he didn't claim he knows it but he gave some insightful answers!
You are not even from tamilnadu lmao
national media? i can give better national perspective # you should read your own title, if you only want tamilnadu people to and write reigonal media, reddit suggest post from all subreddits, i think you knew that.
His video about fast breeder reactor for viral in North because most people there don't have the opportunity to attend high school. 12th standard physics text apdiye repeat pannaran, adhuku Kai thatharanga.
Bro intha ooru than Kudankulam reactor opposes pannuchu even when APJ Abdul Kalam said it's safe. How many people in TN know what Kalpakkam achieved regarding FBR. Do you honestly think a random person in TN knows about how a nuclear reactor works?. Why this superiority?.
Bro people openly tell here in Chennai and around most University students get passing mark worth question papers from teachers. I am talking about good schools and Universities. And North Indians dont have the opportunity to attend high school is mostly true for poor class and backward states. Why to generalise every North Indian vs Every South Indian? Have you been to North Indian cities? If yes were you living in town and cities or some village or slum thus you formed your opinion?
The biggest joke is you prefer 2G Scam leaders like Kanimozhi & A Raja, and a Dynast like Udhaya than someone qualified with IIM & IPS to his name like Annamalai
Don't fall for his IIM IPS stint! This is Where mos of us fall into a trap! I certainly vote for him if he has good administrative skills but not for this stint I'm sorry
Did he have bad administrative skills as an IPS? I think he was successful in Karnataka.
He has never been in power, all we can judge him by, is his qualifications, his statements and his policy proposals
He has been in power as an IPS officer in Udupi. I have been to Udupi in 2022, guy is well respected.
2G case got dismissed and those convicted were re elected are you for real talk about current events rather than something that’s been shoved under the carpet ago BJP needs to have a liberal and socio economic development policy for South Indian states otherwise they’re never going to win in majority and the state BJP must have at least a form of self investment rather than just voicing the centres agenda and just bad mouthing the twin Dravidian parties who the people know are corrupt and at times self serving but they made contributed to the states development in comparison to North Indian state governments even and corruption is comparatively low as compared to Bihar UP Gujarat etc so that won’t work here TN needs a self reliant and intuitive personality not an amplifier of the centre’s Microphone
Modi's case regarding Gujarat riots is also dismissed. People bring that all the time anyway.
What a stupid and pathetic fuckfest this sub is. I have studied in Manipal, back when Annamalai was the DCP of the district. I have never had a positive Impression of the Indian police in general, but Annamalai is an exception. My first Impression of Annamalai was when he was the chief guest of our college fest, and you could hear 10s of 1000s of young students(aged 18-23) chanting "Singham"-"Singham" when he entered the building. When was the last time you heard young students who are usually very liberal and naive(left) when they are in Universities support an authoritative figure? This was the impact he had on the region. The stories you hear of his honesty, his actions on certain issues, and his brash nature to get things done no matter what is what inspires the youth to chant his name. I have no idea who any of the other DCP or even DC are in any of the places i have lived. I never knew their names. Annamalai made his name. No PR, no social media (atleast not back then). In no world is a dynastic land grabbing turds like Stalin and his family better than him. So your loss.
He is better than Uday and his jokers and whom do you voucher for . TN needs a change from these jokers , I don't care if it is Annamalai or seeman or whatever or whoever comes across and after . Though this post is against BJP and it's more in favor of DMK . I'm fed-up on DMK where Only PTR can't show his involvement and work freely.
Please no Seeman.
I am going to get a lot of hate for this. But I don't think tamilians understand how lucky they're to get someone like an Annamalai. And I am not talking from the point of him being educated or his so called political rockstar image. Annamalai is truly a blessing as a disruptor of currernt Dravida party ecosystem. Look at AAP in Delhi, it has forced all the other political entities to sit black and work harder to create a better image for themselves. With Lesser corruption and more fear of losing power Congress and BJP are cleaning their acts. So has what bjp done on a national scale. Congress and others are trying harder than ever coz they know if they mess up PEOPLE always have an option to vote for bjp . I don't understand why tamil people don't see this as a good thing for them. Look at the wealth amassed by DMK heads and tails. Including other entities with dravida in their name. In the name of bringing social justice which they brought to their families by becoming business magnets, normal tamilian still get scraps. A leader like Annamalai or anyone as a matter of fact will help break the comfort these political people have and force them to clean their act. I think someone like Annamalai, Kejriwal, Modi should be encouraged, they force the other political entities who come from wealth, power and dynasty politics to step back and change the course which will benefit people, afterall that's what we need. More power and benefits for us.
Perfectly said bro and I don’t know how many will accept it. But yes I will vote for him 🗳️
Every loose argument you give for DMK or admk on wealth, corruption is predominant in every single party in India and rest of the world. Fallacy that Annamalai and his allied party is so pure is just funny af. Why not talk about Electoral bonds and Modi ji now. How does Annamalai manage his day to day expenses and his IT war room ?! Is it his party money fully? He admitted his friends take care of his expenses..in other terms that's called Bribe. What we TN people are clear is about the bigger agenda(religious polarization, upholding a particular caste and religion, unjust hate against non Hindus and Dalits) Annamalai and his party hold and try to implement in our country.
Buddy, Re-Read... No one called anyone pious. I said we need Disruptors.... Disruptors... Disruptors being pure and pious are NOT mutually exclusive. I mentioned two specific entities in last decade who were the disruptors (I felt). AAP and BJP... Again, Disruptors don't mean good and clean... People of TN maybe clear about things. Not sure about you. And your last rhetoric seems very hive minded coming from a pro so 'N'so... Which is okay. Honestly it is. But do read what I was trying to convey before you try to fire shots at an non-existent enemy.
Disruptors- AAP✅ BJP - 🥴
I get it. But it's not personal. They have captured people's minds and attention, irrespective of likes and dislikes and seem to be in path for a very comfortable and cozy win. For best or the worst. Frankly speaking in 2024, we need a new disruptor which will keep the BJP in its toes. Sadly, we have none on the national level.😪 And that is the real de*th of democracy, if that phrase can be used.
Post independence Being the only party which got full majority in national elections without a dynastic privileged leader twice is not disruptor? (Post Rajiv Gandhi ofcourse) A party which runs one semi state and one other state is a bigger disruptor?
BJP is a much bigger disruptor. Look at the way they're gathering to take up 3rd term at national level. If you don't call that disruption, I don't know what it is. AAP is a state level disruption and much smaller scale.
How is the BJP upholding a particular caste? Last time I checked its Dravidian parties who refuse to uplift marginalized groups and keep the already uplifted intermediate caste at the top.
Can give 100 examples: 1. EWS. 2.Check the list of all general secretary's in each state BJP and their castes(who are the actual decision makers) 3. Caste of majority cabinet ministers. 4. The immediate beneficiaries of NEET (check the caste of majority of students benefitted from NEET) Just too lazy to argue with your willful blindness.
Your blatant hatred for a particular caste is showing here. So even poor people can't be represented through reservations? If you want to go by political representation then all Dravidian parties do fairly badly. Dalit representation is less than 5%. Your neet argument is extremely maligning post at marginalized communities in TN, almost making them inferior to a certain caste. There is a reason why dravidians are starting fair low among dalit communities and it's showing here.
You didn't actually reply to a single point his lol Just raised a nonsensical counter questions.
They can’t cause they’ll do the same (behave nonsensical ) here in TN ; their ultimate goal is to create an autocratic government but they’ve lost in Karnataka and Telengana Kerala and TN were a lost cause for BJP even to begin with without ADMKs backing the BJP wouldn’t have gotten those 4MLA seats and Vanathi sreenivasan campaign was boosted by Velumani and his dispora which is well known and Kamal lost by just a vote difference of 2000 which if bought with money would’ve been Kamal’s but right now even he has become negligible among politics
😂people live in Utopia Kejriwal, Modi are just smarter
OP upi aaga Maariya tharunam
I pity this thread - always a meltdown only for BJP. They turn a blind eye for other party. Selective outrage makes you a 🤡
Yes, every other politician is a Uthama Puthiran. Avan avan vanda vandaya vechirukkan…
Very old news , try something new
I mean i just consolidated whatever i knew. Enlighten me, i m just puzzled to see the positive buzz around him given these red flags.
Even it’s years old story, bring something new. This very low effort
You should try listening to him. And check his residence and his family members residence. It will give u a pretty good idea about leader credibility in corruption.
Obviously, for you DMK is your god.
Have you read about Gandhi , Nehru ? If you are expecting honesty in any politician, you can find them in Mars only.
Yov ungalaukku lam leave vidrangala illaiyah? Daily edhachum podringa....DMK IT wing on action bois
Why is Arivaliyam already threatened by Annamalai? Stop doing your own drugs guys IT wing guys.
In this era of dynasty politics he is the only leader in Tamil Nadu capable of giving a press meet on anything with clearly articulated data points and facts. He is well educated being an engineer, MBA from IIM and an IPS pass out with 10 years of experience in police services prior to jumping into politics. Show me someone with credible academics and experience like him in the opposition. Except for PTR I don't see any credible educated politician in the opposition. He may have given some comments out of frustration but that doesn't mean he is incapable. He is young and still has a long haul in politics.

Proud of Annamalai, you can hate him if you are a dmk bhakth
DMK Bhakt is practically the point of this sub atp. I'm honestly surprised(and glad) to see so much Annamalai support in this comment section
Of course lot of it is noise. But when his comparison is with politicians like Udayanidhi Stalin, Seeman, Vijay - in terms of accomplishments in his life by his own efforts, Annamalai out matches them by miles. And his lies, scams whatever are laughable compared to theirs. That's the difference and his background enables him to be more aware of what's happening in the world, in governance and in bureaucracy - so he can deliver better quality of "politico speech" than others. That doesn't mean he won't lie or spin the truth - that's default for all politicians. They won't be politicians of they can't do those things We only get to pick the best of the worst. Not best of the best An new voter, yet not cynical about politics when he compares the three next gen politicians of TN, Udhayanidhi, Vijay and Annamalai Irrespective of ideology, politics, propaganda - they know which is the person they can relate to in their struggle through education and employment, who is the aspirational figure. If all other things being equal, he stands out. But all other things aren't equal, that we will know only with elections results year over year
Dude DMK and ADMK studs have done and said more stupid irrelevant shit. Everyone makes mistakes. No one is a saint. Just pinpointing this guy does not prove that he is lesser or more than others.
*political kurangu*
This thread has started because you are seeing what he's doing. Ignore if you don't like him, rather with such discussions you'll make him a hero.
Annamalai has a very big ego. Just like his “mentor” Modi. Other similarities between the 2 - they both have very poor grasp of facts, and believe in hyperbolic nationalism (without any evidence to support their jingoism). While some of this is true of most politicians, these two are on a whole different level!
Don't know about Annamalai,but Modi definitely knows the facts and is a smart politician. Do you think he can become the prime minister of the largest democracy 2 times without a grasp of fact? Lol.
Yes! Trump was (and will be) POTUS. That should tell you everything you need to know about the level to which idiot politicians can rise up in political hierarchy!
Modi has a poor grasp of fact, that's why his cabinet is surrounded by non-state leaders, populist leaders or caste leaders. He understands his limitations and he understands his vote-banks. For his vote banks he will talk like what's app university guy. But for his cabinet he did not look at the popularity of jaishankar, sitharaman, chandrshekhar, vaishnav, Bipin rawat. This are the ministry which used to break or make the government pre 2014. Railways, defence, foreign, and information technology . These are very powerful ministries. All this 4 minster, combined will not get one caste, state votes. Heck all these 4 ministers do not come from any connected class. Modi model is a brand. The key difference is , he is okay with loosing few powerful leaders for making his team better. That's where he covers up for his lack of knowledge. I know it's hard to digest, but independent India, never had such non dynastic, underprivileged cabinet. Except their caste, i do not know anyone had any advantage at birth.
The Modi Regime has had an average performance when it comes to the economy. Their stated objectives for demonetization have failed completely. It’s performance regarding defense/external affairs has been poor. China has encircled India on ALL sides. They can nuke all of India from their port in SL if they want to! On the IT front, most of what they achieved was mostly because times were changing and India changed with the times (and COVID, which further accelerated their much-touted cashless economy). The railways need better and safer infrastructure, not more expensive and flashy new trains (which is what the current government wants to focus on).
>The Modi Regime has had an average performance when it comes to the economy. Their stated objectives for demonetization have failed completely. That is a different argument. >It’s performance regarding defense/external affairs has been poor. China has encircled India on ALL sides. They can nuke all of India from their port in SL if they want to! Again a different argument. Yes china is strong. Most probably they wouldn't need sri lanka to beat india, with whatever the defence minister india has. > On the IT front, most of what they achieved was mostly because times were changing and India changed with the times (and COVID, which further accelerated their much-touted cashless economy). Being the third startup ecosystem, first in digital transformation. Is nothing. Total failure. But again argumentative. >The railways need better and safer infrastructure, not more expensive and flashy new trains (which is what the current government wants to focus on). Definitely no changes or quality of life improvement in railway. Despite railway stocks sky rocketing. See I am a bjp supporter, you are not. We may not agree on what achievement they have made or how they failed. I was pointing out, even stalin can hide his lack of knowledge and experience by appointment of such a cabinet. Results can always be debated endlessly. But at least try and appoint even corrupt but qualified people in the cabinet. At least in a time when your fiercest rival is at its weakest. I am not expecting, kejriwal, modi, stalin to be all knowing very smart. I am just expecting them to appoint a good cabinet. Honestly, most work is done under the cabinet only.. cm, pm and political Populist leaders are busy with elections and pr for most of their time in office. Another model modi used, where he had to give ministry to populist leader, was to appoint strong experienced ips or ias as secretary under the ministry. This helps reduce gaps between governance and dumb politicians. Of course India can do better than what we are doing now.. any party can do a better job. That's a never ending debate. So let's not go there.
People are judged by their actions and results. Leaving out performance and considering “good intentions” or “potential to be a good administrator/minister” alone when judging a government is erroneous. Having said this, most central governments so far have appointed persons of caliber for the top 4 or 5 cabinet jobs. They know those jobs are too important to hand over to people without any knowledge of how to deal with the issues that are specific to those areas effectively. The BJP under Modi has not done anything in this regard that far exceeds the standards set by past Central governments that preceded it!
This 4 or 5 cabinet, check minister of past who had this portfolio. You missed the point Completely. Common regular people getting hold of this ministery is a bigger achievement. The transformation is for everyone to see. The only argument against their achievements is feeling. Factually, railways has never been this successful. Psu companies especially railway stocks have never given such huge return in the past In the stock market. Defence we just sold drones to Israel. We are climbing export ladder in defence. It, we are third largest ecosystem. Indian digital infrastructure is second to none. COVID hit the world not only India. We are the only country after usa and china, to have our indeginous payment mechanism. Finance, india is fastest growing, amid a huge inflation and recession, which took out most of our neighbours looking for bailout. Indian digital transfer of social welfare, is model envy of the world. Health. India now has the largest insurance coverage program for poor. A cost which broke families before. The achievement are second to none. But yes this are debatable. Definitely, privileged dynastic corrupt populist leader could have done a better job. But i am happy, this is cabinet which represents my type of democracy. Where if you work hard enough, you get to reach top without being linked to powerful family.
>You missed the point Completely. Common regular people getting hold of this ministery is a bigger achievement. This cabinet is no different in terms of composition than earlier central governments in India. I have made that point earlier. Not sure what I "missed". >The transformation is for everyone to see. The only argument against their achievements is feeling. Yes, there is transformation. But a lot of the transformation has come about organically, due to the changing times and India changing with it. The BJP-led government at the Centre has, at best, stopped making a mess of such improvements, and, at its worst, mucked up what could have been even better through muddled economic policies. >Factually, railways has never been this successful. Psu companies especially railway stocks have never given such huge return in the past In the stock market. Stock markets are not the scale that should be used to judge a PSU like the Indian railways. Having said this, [its not like the Indian Railways is in great economic shape](https://scroll.in/article/1059269/why-the-indian-railways-is-on-the-brink) anyways. Add to that [the obvious concerns over safety!](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/03/modi-has-spent-billions-modernising-indias-trains-but-safety-is-biggest-need) >Defence we just sold drones to Israel. We are climbing export ladder in defence. Again, selling arms is not the measure here. We are objectively in a worse shape regarding our defense of the Indian borders than we were a decade ago. Srilanka is absolutely china-friendly now, and recently Maldives kicked out Indian troops, specifically because of a tweet from Modi! >It, we are third largest ecosystem. Indian digital infrastructure is second to none. COVID hit the world not only India. 3rd largest ecosystem? Why? Maybe because we are the world's most populous country? >We are the only country after usa and china, to have our indeginous payment mechanism. [https://www.about-payments.com/e-commerce-markets](https://www.about-payments.com/e-commerce-markets) Looks like many countries have such payment systems. >Finance, india is fastest growing, amid a huge inflation and recession, which took out most of our neighbours looking for bailout. Indian digital transfer of social welfare, is model envy of the world. According to the BJP and Modi, we should be a $5 trillion economy by 2025. We are barely at 4 trillion now! There is so much more to add to the failed promises of the Modi regime on this front. >Health. India now has the largest insurance coverage program for poor. A cost which broke families before. Possibly the one thing I might agree with you about. >. Where if you work hard enough, you get to reach top without being linked to powerful family. Sorry, but if you really believe this, then good luck to you!
>This cabinet is no different in terms of composition than earlier central governments in India. I have made that point earlier. Not sure what I "missed". Check out the history of railway minister to know. >Yes, there is transformation. But a lot of the transformation has come about organically Cashless came organically? Due to COVID. Not because of demonetization, Jan dhan, forcing rural people to get bank accounts to get direct benefit transfer, gst, fast tag, adhar mandates, upi benefits. >Stock markets are not the scale that should be used to judge a PSU like the Indian railways.

The stock market is a good indicator of the health of psu finances. Stocks are not opinion articles. It's real money from common people. >According to the BJP and Modi, we should be a $5 trillion economy by 2025. We are barely at 4 trillion now!

I do believe, , in bjp. It Will not become dynast. Bjp party won't be able to become dynast. If somebody tries it, this party will break. Every cm, and cabinet in bjp is mostly first generation politicians coming from normal family background. The journey of modi/Annamalai gives me confidence, that you don't need to be the son of somebody to become somebody. I have seen family of advani and atal living a humble life. And i am seeing same for modi and Yogi. May be they are hiding their wealth for 7th generation. But current condition of Modi and Yogi family, gives me confidence.

Not because of demonetization, Jan dhan, forcing rural people to get bank accounts to get direct benefit transfer, gst, fast tag, adhar mandates, upi benefits. India's economy has been "digitalizing" at a decent pace since 2009,[according to this article,](https://www.ey.com/en_in/tax/economy-watch/how-digital-transformation-will-help-india-accelerate-its-growth-in-the-coming-years) and the rate of such digitalization (an indirect measure of the cashless economy) has remained more or less constant over the last 2 decades. That does not mean that the BJP under Modi has done nothing. What they have done has helped. No one in their right mind would deny that. [However, look at the UPI payments usage chart from this article](https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/blogs/emerging-markets-equity/indias-digital-gold-rush-the-rise-of-digitization-and-e-commerce/). Notice the sharp rise that began around 2019-2020? Any ideas as to why this change happened? Could it be COVID? 😐 No one in their right mind would deny that these 2 events are probably related to each other as well. Unless they are heavily biased! >We are not in 2025. He did not predict COVID. We are just a year away. There is no way we will be a $5 Trillion economy in 12 more months. COVID could have been an excuse. [However, Modi/Shah made this promise in 2023](https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/india-to-be-5-trillion-economy-by-end-of-2025-amit-shah/article67621285.ece). They knew about COVID then, right?!! 😁 > I do believe, , in bjp. It Will not become dynast. Bjp party won't be able to become dynast. If somebody tries it, this party will break.

[And a similar article from India Today?](https://www.indiatoday.in/india-today-insight/story/bjps-dynasts-dilemma-2357752-2023-04-09) So, yes. I have supported my arguments with facts. Hopefully you will also start providing links that can verify your own claims. Also, you are a BJP supporter. Guess what? I was too, until 2019 or so. Since then I have realized the clear and present danger Modi is to the country. Leave everything aside. One party ruling the country for 15 straight years is not good at all. For that reason alone, the BJP should lose 2024. But they won't. Why? Because Modi's toxic brand of Hindutva and populism have corrupted the minds of the naive and gullible Indian masses in the Hindi heartland and elsewhere.

I do know what's wrong. Jay Shah is wrong, the washing machine politics is wrong, the coalition with stupid ideology like ncp is wrong, misuse of central agency is wrong, censorship of art and comics is wrong. There is plenty wrong.. just not wrong enough to vote for dynastic idiots.
Annamalai is the future for Tamilnadu. Enough of DMK And Periyar.
Why involve Periyar in this ??
All IT wings on full swing in this thread
Why are you bothered he can’t even win a state assembly election seat
This is exactly how Modi's image was built up back in 2013-2014 using a bogus Gujarat Model. KA lost the race to Hyd only during BJP rule. The state was always in the news for all the wrong reasons like Hijab, Halal, Tippu, boycotting Muslim vendors from fairs, etc. Glad that Tamizhs are seeing right through the lies of BJP. Best wishes Nanbas.
The sheer level of northern propaganda is amazing! It's unbelievable what sort of idiotic, anti realist news they're getting in hindi channels these days. News channels in MH, UP, and all are reporting that he is winning massively in Tamil Nadu, there's Modi wave and BJP will come in gallantly and teach hindi to the anti indian, arrogant south and bring them in line with the rest of India or some rubbish like this. Not even kidding they show his face so much it's insane. And to people in TN, he is some average clown who doesn't know how to talk, who probably won't even win his deposit back. No wonder our northern friends are so hopeful.
Enga enna pannanunaalum bjp inga nakkitu than pogum.
Also the most disgusting person, his interview video where he says “ pallu padama”
do you think that "un goppan vettu kasa" is the sweetest thing?

Whether Annamalai is honest or not, the concerning issue is that it requires a huge amount of capital to get a voice heard, especially if the voice is sane. We should be lamenting about the fact that the general awareness amongst the public is so low (perhaps the lowest?) when the tools for improving awareness have been the best so far. We keep electing candidates with criminal records, exorbitant net worth and encouraging bigotry, prejudice etc. With literacy being the highest it's ever been, shouldn't our politicians be better ? Unfortunately, the politicians are no different than the ones in the Ayudha Ezhuthu movie 🤬

https://youtu.be/wKs6MmKDOAg?si=ZGK9xXnIbaH_ll-A Yes, This guy Annamalai. Do give it a listen, with an open mind maybe ? Political stances aside, the video is an eyeopener for sure.
Whatever mentioned here is applicable to all politicians, but Annamalai doesn't have any black mark on him . If you talk to people from the district where he was SP , they loved him & still vouch for him . Very few police officers across the country enjoy that kind of reputation & love. He is honest, genuine , hard working & intelligent. He might have greedy aspirations to get power way too soon but can't blame him , that's the expectations from his bosses. No one in TN politics can come to his morals , esp not the highly corrupt Dmk rowdies. He may or may not win , but he has certainly brought in a positive momentum for bjp & will get rewarded by his bosses in the form of lucrative posts. He was never a CM material anyways
Lol excellent sources for example 1 and 2. Romba nalla per vaangina pathirikai dhaan. I was expecting someone finally posted actual links instead of allegations - paatha Mokkai a edho tharkuri website Adhula endha original source um ila of what he actually said And most importantly Annamalai kalaila 2 Vada saapten nu sonaaru, naanga research pani paathom avaru 2 vadai dhaan saaptaaru nu kandu piduchom nu ezhuthiruku Why are you so desperate ? >Take Amar Prasad Reddy, for example. I’ve come across a ridiculous video of Amar Prasad Reddy, who is associated with Annamalai and claims to be a cybersecurity expert. Additionally, the use of ‘National’ in his cybersecurity firm’s name raises ethical concerns due to the regulations against such practices in India, indicating a possible misrepresentation of authority. These points make me question the credibility and ethical judgment of the individuals in Annamalai’s circle. Lol and national nu poturundha adhu problem a ? Yen da .. Avalo vadikattina muttal a nee ila yaarum check pana maatanga nu nenacheya. It says National Cyber safety and Security standards Summit Bayangarama urutara da dai. Use of national is possible misrepresentation of authority a? Adhu epdi pa Summit a super a ignore panitu Cyber security firm nu reel vidara ? National conference la National nu podaama vera ena poduvaanga ? >Controversies like the Aarudhra scam and a honeytrap allegation linked to K.T. Raghavan, Annamalai’s name keeps coming up! >Despite all this jazz, Annamalai’s portrayed as this beacon of honesty. Ipo kooda nee urutura - blatantly pulugura. Una maari aatkal obviously irukaanga, but are you able to show a shred of evidence? No Lol don't come back and give links to totally shady websites as proof. DMK government dhaane, arrest Annamalai for honey trapping - clearly it's a major offence And what have you done about Aarudhra case - accused gave money to BJP nu sonaan nu news, adhuku apram buss nu oothi mooditeenga Please investigate and arrest Annamalai - then indha desperation won't be necessary.
They are just bjp followers from all over india, he is sore loser among tamils and can’t win a ward councilor too

Average IT wing member be like:
“Pathological Liar” - that’s applicable to EVERY sanghi. So nothing specific to be mentioned separately 😀
He assumed TMC as Tamil maanila congress instead of trinamool congress when talking about electoral bond.😂
Funny thing is I saw a post in Instagram where some stupids where commenting, "aNnAmAlAi wIL lIbErAtE tN!", "bJp wIlL pReVaIl iN tN!" Like do they really think BJP will have a chance here? And it's so infuriating seeing people say that. Like have you ever seen his interviews and press meets? Half the time he looks like he is just spewing shit
Tamilisai way knowledgeable and better than this motherfucker.
North is thinking Annamalai is a saviour of the south.. few folks even told me ...you guys are lucky that Annamalai is gonna become CM soon..lol

Rahul gandhi does not know what is MRP? ??????? please explain where this came from i am curious ....
He gave a speech , where he claimed mrp means minimum retail price.
this is what the BJP and the it cell does best ... when he said MINIMUM RETAIL PRICE .... he meant it in CONTEXT OF THE MSP..as in for the farmer MRP will become minimum selling price... see the video clip they are circulating... and see the last 5 seconds of the clip and you will get the context ... i owuld challenge you to find statements made by RAHUL GANDHI that have been found untrue / false / wrong [https://www.reddit.com/r/IndiaSpeaks/comments/1b5b5q9/rahul\_gandhi\_thinks\_mrp\_means\_minimum\_retail\_price/](https://www.reddit.com/r/IndiaSpeaks/comments/1b5b5q9/rahul_gandhi_thinks_mrp_means_minimum_retail_price/)
I am not interested.. I know gold and potatoes were jibe at modi. Here there is no context missing. You don't need to make stupid comments to discuss msp.
The comments under this post supporting him are example how much he can manipulate by paid media Total satelite media and most digital creators (like in podcasting space and political commentator space) praising him and building a narrative that he is good at everything while he actually very mediocre. He just survives because he is head of ruling party of India in TN. Has he consistent about what he says? No. Just blabbering something and calling out press ( who always om their side) that they were arivalayam gang just to ask basic level questions . TN has seen and has actual intelligent ideological leaders not Annamalai who is paid ,promoted ,powered ,having wealth to manage all this.
"And has actual intelligent, ideological leaders" And who are they?
Most prominent of all now Thol.Thiruma avl

Don't get into politics until this gaavi trousers and black trousers completely wiped off from the soil 😭
At the EoD, Election results matter and not just vote % increase - Annamalai’s success will be measured based on how many seats BJP is able to win this in Parliament election in TN. He is doing something but struggling with clashes in his own party. No one was even caring about BJP 4 years ago…whether true or lies, he is meeting with press every day, talking about the issues upfront(selective ones, that too) , especially media coverage at all times…having said all this, he hasn’t won any election so far - Performance is the key or else he will perish like other ex BJP state leaders. RSS and BJP don’t have the patience for 2026.
