Chennai, June 2026: According to media reports and statements attributed to leaders associated with the development, Tamil Nadu BJP Vice President Karu Nagarajan has resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and expressed support for former Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai’s newly launched initiative, ‘We The Leaders’.

Reports indicate that Nagarajan’s decision follows Annamalai’s reported departure from the BJP earlier this month. The new platform has been described by its supporters as a people-centric movement focusing on public participation, governance, education, healthcare, and state-specific issues.

According to reports, Nagarajan praised Annamalai’s leadership abilities and vision. Media reports further suggest that some other party functionaries have also extended support to the initiative. However, the exact number of leaders joining the movement could not be independently verified at the time of publication.

Supporters of the initiative have claimed significant public interest following its launch, including a large number of registrations on its platform. These figures have not been independently verified.

Political observers note that if the reported developments continue, they could influence political discussions in Tamil Nadu ahead of future electoral contests. However, the long-term impact on existing political parties remains uncertain.

As of publication, no detailed official response from the BJP regarding the reported resignations was available.
