K Annamalai, the Singham of Karnataka, donned the hat of a super cop just a year ago. Now, as the Tamil Nadu BJP vice-president, Annamalai is sweating it out as he travels to remote parts of Aravakurichi.
Annamalai is the BJP candidate for the NDA alliance from Tamil Nadu’s Aravakurichi for the 2021 assembly election.
Aravakurichi, which is a DMK stronghold and infamous for cash-for-votes, poses a big challenge for the BJP. The 35,000-odd Muslim votes in Pallapatti area in Aravakurichi will also play a crucial role in the upcoming election.
