Interesting transition! Annamalai did a great job raising BJP's profile in TN. Hope Nagenthiran can build on that momentum. The alliance with AIADMK could be a game changer for 2026 elections.

Annamalai was such a dynamic leader! 😊 Will miss his energetic speeches. But change is inevitable in politics. Best wishes to Nagenthiran - he has big shoes to fill!

While I support BJP, I'm not sure about this AIADMK alliance. Their last government had many corruption allegations. Hope this doesn't dilute BJP's clean image in TN.

Nagenthiran has been working quietly in the background for years. He might not be as flashy as Annamalai, but he knows the party structure well. Sometimes steady hands are what's needed!

The real news here is the BJP-AIADMK alliance! This could completely change Tamil Nadu's political landscape. DMK should be worried now. 🚀
