Despite BJP`s vigorous campaigning in Tamil Nadu and PM Modi`s frequent visits, the party fell short in securing seats during the Lok Sabha polls. The defeat of BJP`s prominent candidate K Annamalai in Coimbatore is seen as a significant blow. Local perspectives on Annamalai`s loss vary; while some cited multiple factors, one local highlighted concerns about his conduct and leadership capabilities. This sentiment underscores broader criticisms within the constituency regarding Annamalai`s suitability for leadership, reflecting challenges faced by BJP in gaining traction despite their concerted efforts in the region.
