Annamalai Launches 'We the Leaders' With Anti-Drug Campaign

Amar Prasad Reddy, a former state secretary of the Tamil Nadu BJP and a prominent backer of the new movement, described the event as a departure from typical political theater. The gathering functioned without formal VIP protocols or standard invitation lists, emphasizing a grassroots approach intended to distance the organization from established institutional fanfare.

This move follows a series of high-profile resignations, including Annamalai’s own exit from the BJP. The conference serves as both a public health platform and a strategic unveiling of his future political agenda. Key figures, such as former state vice president Karu Nagarajan, have also aligned themselves with this transition, signaling a broader realignment within the state's political landscape.
