Former Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai has officially resigned from the BJP and announced a new political movement, Annamalai Makkal Iyakkam (AMI). Once seen as the BJP's strongest face in Tamil Nadu, the former IPS officer says disagreements with the party leadership over the state's political strategy forced him to part ways. Samah Qundeel explains Annamalai's rise from "Singham" cop to political heavyweight, why he left the BJP, and what his next move could mean for Tamil Nadu politics.
