Annamalai Will Win Coimbatore Constituency: Telugu Actor Nara Rohit

Telugu actor and TDP leader Nara Rohit on Thursday campaigned for BJP's K Annamalai in Coimbatore ahead of the seven-phased general elections.

Nara Lokesh took part in a joint roadshow with Tamil Nadu BJP Chief Annamalai as the TDP is now part of the NDA again.

Lauding the BJP's emerging figure in Tamil Nadu and the South, TDP general secretary Lokesh said that Annamalai is a dynamic and dedicated young leader. He highlighted Annamalai's grasp of state issues demonstrated during his recent 'En Mann En Makkal' (foot march), emphasizing his dedication to understanding people's concerns.

"Annamalai is a rising, young leader. He has shown a deep and clear understanding of the people's issues and is also committed to upholding their interests. He willingly entered the fray (for the Lok Sabha) from a tough seat (Coimbatore). I am certain that he is going to win this constituency. He left his job as an IPS officer to be in the service of the people of Tamil Nadu. I am sure the people of Tamil Nadu will reciprocate his commitment to their welfare by sending him to the Lok Sabha," ANI quoted Lokesh as saying.

The voting for 39 Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu is set to take place in the first phase of the general elections on April 19. The counting of votes will be held on June 4.

"I am here in Tamil Nadu to support my friend Annamalai. We exchanged a lot of views and ideas on how to take our respective states forward. For a strong nation, we need to build strong states. Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh will together contribute to a strong and assertive country," he added.

Lokesh said that the NDA will emerge victorious in the upcoming polls. Lokesh added, "The NDA is well on its way to forming the next government at the Centre. There is no doubt that our alliance will go well over 400 in the Lok Sabha elections."
