Welcoming the leaders to BJP, Annamalai said these senior leaders come with a bag full of experience and know the cause root of problems that people of the state are facing. Their induction will strengthen the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and together we can achieve the target of 400 plus seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024.

"Tamil Nadu is going the Bharatiya Janata Party way," claimed the state BJP chief.

Chandrasekhar remarked that the significant scale of new members joining the BJP reflects Modi's popularity in a state like Tamil Nadu, where the BJP has traditionally had limited influence.
