Video: Annamalai opens up on quitting BJP at India Today Tamil Nadu Roundtable

Former Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai, at the India Today Roundtable, spoke about his decision to quit the party and launch his grassroots movement, ‘We the Leaders’. He said the BJP’s decision-making had become excessively Delhi-centric and criticised the concentration of major national projects in Gujarat. Turning to Tamil Nadu’s political landscape, Annamalai described the first 100 days of Chief Minister Vijay’s TVK government as a “fresh breath” in state politics and praised its anti-corruption stance, while saying the administration was yet to demonstrate a clear long-term vision. He said ‘We the Leaders’ aims to build a base of 50 lakh volunteers before evolving into a political party, with a focus on grassroots activism and social work rather than conventional electoral spending. Annamalai also claimed that traditional Dravidian parties such as the DMK and AIADMK had no long-term future unless they underwent significant “internal re-engineering” and moved away from dynastic politics.

3 murders in 3 states: Spouses turn killers for insurance money, love affair

What happens when the murderer is not a stranger lurking in the shadows, but someone you trusted enough to let into your home, your family, even your life? Three murders across Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Karnataka appear, at first glance, to have little in common. Different states, different victims, different circumstances. Look closer, though, and a chilling pattern emerges. In each case, investigators say the killing was carried out with remarkable planning, with attempts made to disguise the real cause of death, mislead investigators and push suspicion elsewhere. Behind the elaborate cover-ups lay motives that were far more familiar: family disputes, fractured relationships and financial motives. What makes these cases particularly unsettling is not merely the manner in which the victims were killed, but who allegedly killed them.
