DMK’s Ganapathy Rajkumar beat K Annamalai in Coimbatore Lok Sabha constituency by a margin of more than one lakh votes. This was a crucial constituency for BJP as it fielded its Tamil Nadu party president K Annamalai to contest without any regional party support. BJP was placing a big bet on Annamalai as it was looking to open its account in Lok Sabha elections in Tamil Nadu with him. This is a second defeat for Annamalai as he lost in Aravakurichi constituency during Tamil Nadu Assembly Polls in 2021. Despite losing the Assembly polls from Aravakurichi, he was elevated to the post of state party chief in the same year. Annamalai, who hails from Karur, quit the police service in September 2019 and joined the BJP in 2020. #loksabhaelection2024 #bjp #annamalai #tamilnadu #coimbatore #news18 News18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
