In a post on X, the former Tamil Nadu BJP chief argued that such measure could further increase anxiety among students rather than restoring confidence in the examination process.
They came from opposite worlds. One memorised scripts. The other memorised the IPC. Now one runs Tamil Nadu and the other is starting from zero, by choice. The last time this state saw that combination, it took fifty years to settle.
Nainar Nagendran categorically asserted that no party member has been authorised to resign and urged cadres to ignore such attempts.
The former Tamil Nadu BJP chief's first political initiative after leaving the party has drawn significant attention, with supporters rallying behind the newly launched Idhu Namma Iyakkam platform.
Months after differences over electoral strategy surfaced, former BJP state chief K. Annamalai has launched a new political outfit and pledged to build a people-centric alternative in Tamil Nadu.
The BJP's decision comes amid growing speculation around K Annamalai's political future, with supporters and rivals closely watching his next move in Tamil Nadu.
A former IPS officer, Annamalai gained significant attention in politics when he was appointed as the Tamil Nadu BJP president in July 2021 at the age of 37.
The controversy erupted after the BJP leader spoke on Mumbai's issue, and allegedly suggested that it is “not a Maharashtra city," during a campaign in Dharavi and Sion Koliwada areas of the city.

The verbal to-and-fro between Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray and former Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai ahead of the high-stakes BMC elections has revived old fault lines over regional identity, migration, and Mumbai’s status as India’s financial capital.
