Tamil Nadu BJP’s K Annamalai Faces Detention Amid Controversial Protest Over TASMAC Allegations

K Annamalai, the president of the Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), was detained during a protest in Chennai on Sunday regarding the alleged irregularities involving the Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (TASMAC). The protest aimed to hold the state government accountable for what the BJP claims is a significant scam linked to the management of liquor sales.

During the protest, Annamalai stated, “The people of Tamil Nadu deserve transparency and accountability in the management of state resources. We will not sit quietly while the government mismanages public assets for personal gain.” His remarks resonated with party workers who gathered in large numbers, demanding investigations into the allegations surrounding the TASMAC operations.

Allegations Spark Outrage Among BJP Leadership and Supporters

As tempers flared, police intervened, leading to Annamalai’s detention, which further inflamed the situation and attracted widespread media attention. The BJP leaders claim that the alleged TASMAC scam includes misappropriation of funds and lack of oversight in the liquor distribution network, benefiting a select few close to the government.
