Chennai: Newly appointed State president of the BJP K Annamalai will formally take charge at the party headquarters Kamalalayam in Chennai later today.
Annamalai, who was carrying out roadshows and addressing BJP carders for the past couple of days, sparked a row on Thursday after he asked partymen not to bother about media carrying negative news about the BJP.
Former State president L Murugan has been appointed as the Minister of state for the Information and Broadcasting and all the media will now be under his Ministry, Annamalai said.
‘There cannot be ‘wrongs’ continuously. The media cannot continuously project false news. Such news cannot be used for politics,’ he added.
A former IPS officer of the Karnataka cadre, Annamalai asked BJP workers to work hard in the next three years, keeping in mind the Lok Sabha election and for the party to go from 4 MLAs to 150 MLAs in the next Tamilnadu Assembly election.
