In today’s Tamil Nadu Brief, NDTV’s Sam Daniel tracks the political storm around Annamalai after his meetings with BJP leaders amid reports that he may quit the party and launch a people’s movement that could eventually become a political force. We also examine comparisons being drawn between Vijay and Annamalai and the MGR-Karunanidhi era. The programme covers the arrest of a TVK functionary in the Tuticorin gang rape case and the political fallout. Plus, why the DMK is adopting Gen Z language after its election defeat, and an inspiring conversation with Chennai’s teenage Everest conqueror Nisha Sasikumar.
