Former Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai is reportedly planning to quit the party and launch a new political movement or party, with an announcement expected in early June. Speculation has grown amid his public criticism of the Centre's three-language policy, absence from BJP meetings, and posters supporting his independent political path. While some sources suggest a non-political movement initially, others anticipate a new party named 'Makkal Sakthi Iyakkam.' Annamalai is expected to meet BJP leadership in Delhi to discuss his future.
