Annamalai is now receiving a crucial boost to his leadership, thanks to the rivaling ADMK leaders Edappadi Palaniswami (EPS) and O Panneerselvam (OPS), who are seeking BJP's support in the bypoll.
The bypoll was necessitated after the shocking demise of Erode East Congress MLA Thirumahan Everaa who died on January 4 at the age of 46 due to heart attack.
Tamil Nadu BJP President Annamalai, who travelled with Surya in the same flight, has now staged a different story that Surya didn't open the emergency door.
Over a month after the incident, the DGCA has on Tuesday launched a probe into the matter and the next day, Union Aviation Minister Scindia came in support of Tejasvi Surya.
Gayathri has thrown bombshells when she quit from the party. Now, days after quitting from the party, she has tossed a big challenge to Annamalai to contest in the by-election and she would contest against him.
Gayathri Raghuram has made a flabbergasting accusation against Tamil Nadu BJP President Annamalai whose leadership is already taking skew and shaky turns with back-to-back political setbacks.
Through driving the party on a skewed track, Annamalai put his leadership in a litmus test after the central leadership expressed its displeasure about the way he leads the party.
