Why Annamalai has been named BJP chief?

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has named K Annamalai, who quit the IPS to join politics, as its Tamil Nadu state unit president in place of L Murugan, who has joined Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government as a minister of state.
At 37, Annamalai Kuppusamy, is the youngest president Tamil Nadu BJP ever had and he is the first to rise to the position in the state unit within a year of joining the party.

Belonging to Karur district in the Kongu region of the state, he is from an agricultural family and belongs to the influential Gounder community.

“We are confident that his appointment would strengthen the BJP and bring more and more young people towards politics with a nationalist vision,” said ANS Prasad, BJP’s state media wing chief.
