This created a feeling of dissatisfaction among people. Upon admission to power, DMK increased the real estate tax, electricity tariff and the price of milk. The law and order have deteriorated. Police do not act correctly to ensure law and order in the state. Crimes against women are on the rise. Anti-incumbency is another main factor. Usually, if the party is in power for five years, the Anti-INCOMBLESENCE factor will be 7% to 8%.
However, it is more than 20%in the last four years. People no longer want DMK in power. The general sentiment is that the government should change.

BJP and AIADMK have contradictory attitudes to several questions such as Neet, defining. Can you cooperate?
Although there are some differences in ideology between BJP and AIADMK, the cadre of both sides decided to win the 2026 elections. This is our shared sentiment. In my experience, I would like to say that the cadre will only think about victory in the elections, not the differences regarding policy or three languages.

Mr. Shah tweeted that Mr. Annamalai has the ability to take over the roles at the national level. Although it goes to national politics, my opinion is that it should continue to contribute to the politics of Tamil Nadu.

What is your answer to the opinion that you have been named President Tamil Nadu BJP to consolidate the community voices “Mukukulad”?
The party had state presidents in the past. They came to the highest place only as leaders, not their caste. Minister of Trade Unions (State State for Information and Broadcasting) L. Murugan, Honorary Governors of CP Radhakrishnan, L. Ganesan and Dr. Tamilisai Soundarajan used to serve as state presidents of BJP. When they were in the post, their caste identities were not quoted. I do not know if this is a valid question to ask that I was made by BJP president only because I come from a specific community.
