The BJP in Tamil Nadu may be adjusting its political strategy, as state BJP president K Annamalai announced he is not contesting for re-election. This development follows Annamalai’s controversial comments about late AIADMK leader Jayalalithaa and potential talks of reviving a BJP-AIADMK alliance ahead of the assembly elections.

The controversy escalated during the day with local political activists staging a protest outside the hospital, and the hospital claiming that the woman’s relatives were making misleading allegations.
