The Annamalai question: Can BJP become a force in Tamil Nadu without him?
The BJP in Tamil Nadu is back at the crossroads. The exit of Annamalai, its former state chief and arguably one of its most recognisable leaders, has once again raised a question the party has been grappling with for years: Can the BJP grow in Tamil Nadu without a strong local face?

Another regional force crumbling: How TMC is going the Shiv Sena, NCP way
When BJP leader J P Nadda had said in 2023 that “regional parties promoting family and corruption are destined to be wiped out”, no one would have thought that his prophecy would turn true so soon. The last three years have seen many regional satraps not just lose power but also lose their clout.
