The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Tamil Nadu has been hit with another resignation, this time from state secretary Sumathi Venkatesh, following the exits of former state chief K Annamalai and state vice president Karu Nagarajan.
Venkatesh announced her decision to step down from her responsibilities as State Secretary of the BJP, Tamil Nadu, citing a heavy heart and careful thought.
In her resignation letter, Venkatesh expressed gratitude to party leaders, office bearers, and karyakartas for their guidance and support during her tenure.
Aannamalai, who served as Tamil Nadu BJP chief between July 2021 to April 2025, attributed his departure from the party to differences in views regarding Tamil Nadu.
Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagendran dismissed concerns over Annamalai's resignation, asserting that the party is an ideology-based organisation and therefore, the departure would have no impact on its electoral prospects in the state.
