‘Supercop Udupi Sigham’. He is a legend in Karnataka. He is Annamalai Kuppusamy. The man managed to get into an IIM, turned down placement and turned to civil services. He took a tough stance against communalism and riots. A legend in Karnataka, Annamalai is now all set to become a legend in Tamil Nadu.
He speaks his mind. He has latched onto the local anti-BJP media in Tamil Nadu. He is exposing how the local media conned the people by making a bogeyman out of the BJP and Prime Minister Modi. He is not the kind of politician a journalist can mess around with. He is sharp and witty, and every time someone tries to take him on, he uses it as an opportunity to capitalise upon.
Meet K Annamalai- the youngest BJP Tamil Nadu state unit President to date
Annamalai had an illustrious career as a police officer. He is a former 2011 batch IPS officer of the Karnataka cadre. He served as the superintendent of police of Chikkamagaluru and Udupi districts.
Before quitting police services in September 2019, he also served as the DCP in Bengaluru (South).
Annamalai’s political career too has risen dramatically. He joined the BJP in August 2020. He was made the state unit chief within a year of joining the party. Annamalai hails from the Karur district in the Kongu region of Tamil Nadu and comes from an agricultural family. His rise in political ranks is thus, spectacular.
Other than @annamalai_k, I've never seen anyone taking on the local media which continously do false propaganda. I see a bright future for him and bright future under him for Tamilnadu.

How Annamalai is boosting BJP in Tamil Nadu?
Annamalai is what BJP was missing in Tamil Nadu. He is quite clear about his ideology and what he wants. He has openly declared, “I don’t want to be like a typical Tamil politician. I’m clear. If you fit me into a Dravidian politician mould, I’ll be happy that I don’t fit into that mould.” Annamalai said, “I don’t want to fit into the typical Dravidian political mould. I stay away from that. So I’ll be happy if people pass that as genuine criticism. I’ll take that as an appreciation.”
People have forgotten our Sanyasi culture which is causing lot of unhappiness in the society.

Annamalai is quite clear about one thing, that he is not going to placate the pro-Dravidian local media. He is happy to invoke the real Tamil culture and wears his anti-Dravidian image on his sleeves.
The art of using media platforms to expose media
How did PM Modi become what he is? Well, he was not afraid of hostile media. You know how the media tarnished his image when Mr Modi was the Gujarat Chief Minister. English media even called him names. And he took it all in his stride. Every time something was said against PM Modi, he had a reply and with every reply, the media got exposed badly. And this made him a big leader.
Posting an article which impressed me about #Annamalai
Will you bring back my child?" It's a tough question to answer, looking into the eyes of a grief-stricken mother whose 17-year-old daughter has been raped and murdered. IPS officer Annamalai, now DCP, Bengaluru South,— தங்கபுஷ்பம் (@thangapushpam03) January 4, 2022
Same with is with Donald Trump. The American mainstream media thought that he is not a serious challenger to the 2016 Democrat Presidential candidate Hilary Clinton. The media ridiculed and mocked him, but Trump made it a point to call them out on their face. And well, you know how Trump became the President, much to the shock of the American left.
And Annamalai is no different. He doesn’t back off if the local media wants to stage a shouting contest with him, and tells them that he is going to go about his job no matter what. The local language media is however different from national media. It doesn’t come into the spotlight and for instance, if a local media outlet says something outrageous, it would simply miss the attention.
So, you need an Annamalai to point it out and bring it to your attention. BJP always needed someone like him to debunk false propaganda and encourage the resurgence of the rich Tamil culture.
Annamalai Ji exposes the single driven agenda of TN Media Houses and it’s journalists in his own style !

K. Annamalai is a great find for the BJP. He is young, dynamic, popular and, just the kind of leader the party needs to awaken people. He is working as a bridge between the BJP and the state of Tamil Nadu. Step-by-step, he is overcoming obstacles like false propaganda by local language media and Dravidian nationalism.
With Annamalai, BJP has cracked the code in Tamil Nadu and he is already becoming a huge phenomenon in the state.
Mr. Annamalai is doing great job and very much appreciated for his hard work, but he himself alone can’t turn the things around and he needs an army of people to help him because Tamil Nadu is the heavily vulnerable state in India for the growth of Christian Conversions and the state have been drastically became the target for Christian missionaries responsible for heavy demographic change with help of Christian DMK politicians
for a long time.
So happy for this Singham from South of India. Please keep up the good work. Let this guy be the next Namo of India. We need passionately proud Indians and nationalists to lead this nation in whatever capacity they can. Those who recognize this nation, Sanatan and Bharat without any differences need to be promoted and supported fully.
Whatever @Annamalai speaks on media, it makes sense to us….He is close to our heart now…Next vote is for Annamalai only….
Dravidian concept IS NOT synonymous with the goons called DMK They are the most anti Tamils WORKING for missionaries,,of course for a few bucks and will sell their mothers and sisters for OFcourse TWO of rupees,,total unmitigated BASTARDS
I am a member of BJP and a patriot. But the approach of the national party to Dravidian Parties is misguided by prejudice. Having studied in a college founded by PeriyarE.V.Ramaswamy , the founder of Dravidian Movement I understood he was not anti Brahmin, but the hierarchy casteism that deprived the lower castes the self esteem needed to aspire for better life. There were three out of the students in M.A class were brahmins and he himself confessed that he was not against Brahmins, but the oppressive caste structure.
Dravidian Movement has nothing to do with the growth of Christianity in Tamil Nadu, which has been traced to one the disciples of Jesus, St Thomas who was martyred in Chennai in the first century A.D. The missionaries played a crucial role in uplifting the downtrodden for centuries. Many Brahmins who studied in missionary schools and colleges were not converted- Former President of India Dr S. Radhakrishnan , Dr Abdul Kalam and many illustrious men and women. But the recent trend in accusing missionary schools for changing the demography of Tamilnadu is quite specious and will be stumbling block to the expansion of BJP in Tamilnadu.The ideals like patriotism to be highlighted without condemning Muslims and Christians as traitors. It will have counter productive and regressive move. First, Mr Annamalai should shed his prejudices against Christians, Islam and the Periyar EVR in order to be accepted in the hearts of Tamil people who are discerning and intellectually sharp.
St. Thomas is a hoax planted by Portuguese to create diversion within Hindus and legitimize conversion of Hindus. Let’s get that fact right first. There is no historical documentary available to attest to the fact of St Thomas. It is a big lie along with Mother Teresa that was perpetrated by Christian proselytizers & missionaries.
First you should shed your prejudices against Bhramins and supporting the disgusting creature called Periyar who’s is nothing but disgrace to human race. In the Indian history your kind of people always blame only Bhramins and why do you ignore all others who are the mine culprits Rulers, kings, other castes who are equally responsible? Did Bhramins were the rulers and kings of the Dravidian cult? and don’t rulers and kings have mind of their own to think what’s right or wrong? Why do current generation of Bhramins have to be punished for just a tiny fraction of Bhramins some centuries ago done any mistakes? By your logic since Islamist have plundered Indian wealth, demolished thousands of Hindu Temples and committed atrocities on Hindu women we should blame entire Muslims and same hate that you show on Bhramins should be shown?
First you come out of your stupid Periyar Sh1t and use your sane brain. Those days of wrongly blaming Hindus and Bhramins is over and current generation of Hindus are not going to fall for your stupid propaganda. We will defend what’s right and our legal rights.
