Chennai, Jul 16 (IANS): BJP's new Tamil Nadu (TN) state chief, K. Annamalai said that the state unit will stand by the state government on the Mekedatu dam issue. In addition, he has raked up a controversy by stating that the party would control the media in the state in six months' time.

The former IPS officer, who joined the BJP recently and is set to replace L. Murugan as Tamil Nadu BJP chief, was addressing a public meeting at Trichy on Thursday enroute Chennai where he will assume office as the party's state unit president on Friday.

"The Tamil Nadu state unit of the BJP will stand with the people of the state in the best interests of the state even though Karnataka is ruled by the BJP," he said.

Stressing that Tamil Nadu should get its share of Cauvery water as stipulated by the Supreme Court, he also said that all concerned should sit together and resolve the issue.

Annamalai said that two senior leaders of the state BJP are part of the all-party delegation led by Tamil Nadu Water Resources Minister, S. Duraimurugan to meet Union Jal Shakhi Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on the Mekedatu dam issue.

He further said that the media in Tamil Nadu has been criticising the BJP unnecessarily and the party would control the media in six months' time.

Amid applause from party cadres, the newly-appointed state unit chief said that his predecessor Murugan is now the Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting and the media in the state would be soon under the control of the party.

He said the media has been attacking the BJP in the state continuously, without any substance.

The former IPS officer was appointed as the BJP state unit President after incumbent L. Murugan was inducted in the Narendra Modi ministry as Minister of State in the recent reshuffle.

    When a free bird becomes a parrot in a Cage, it sings as per the Masters command. Life is experience. When Annamalai experience the real face of his political master, he may have very limited choice. Classic example is cricketer turned politician, Gautham Gambir.

    Sir, you loosing it and you loosing your personality too, you shouldn’t be in that place. There is nothing left for you to control the media, media is well controlled by your master and his chelas even before he won the election in 2014. Don’t forget, independent media is fourth estate of the democracy. You better off in non political movement, Indian politics is not suits your personality.
