Tech Park planned in Somayampalayam should be relocated: K Annamalai in Coimbatore

BJP State President Annamalai criticized the DMK government's approach to Tech Park developments in Tamil Nadu, hinting at opportunistic land acquisitions. Speaking in Coimbatore, he stressed the need for a political shift and called on actors to raise their voices against such practices.


Coimbatore: In a detailed interaction with the press at Coimbatore Airport on March 10, BJP State Leader Annamalai called attention to the concerning tactics employed by the DMK government regarding Tech Park developments in Tamil Nadu. He accused the ruling party of fostering an environment where development projects like Tech Parks are strategically placed to benefit those close to power, implying land acquisitions that hint at deeper opportunistic politics.

Highlighting the broader implications of such practices, Annamalai urged actors and public figures in Tamil Nadu to voice out against these political maneuvers. He criticized Kamal Haasan's alignment with DMK, questioning the political integrity of those who once pledged to foster change but have since aligned with dominant political forces.

The state leader argued that policy-driven politics is challenging yet essential for the state's development and accused the DMK of exploiting its power for personal gain. He emphasized the need for actors and influencers to step beyond the realm of cinema and engage with real issues affecting the state.

Annamalai's discussion also covered the resignation of Election Commissioner Arun Goel, asserting that inquiries about his resignation should be directed at Goel himself. He reaffirmed his commitment to serving the people of Tamil Nadu and emphasized the BJP's role as the only party capable of bringing about meaningful change.

Concluding his address, Annamalai called for a cleansing of the political landscape in Tamil Nadu ahead of the 2026 elections, advocating for development, integrity, and genuine public service over nepotism and opportunistic politics. His comments have sparked a conversation about the role of public figures in politics and the direction of development projects in the state.
