நாடு சேர்த்திட நன் மக்கள் கூட வேண்டும்,
மக்கள் ஒன்றாக மலையென தலைவன் வேண்டும்,
என் தம்பி அண்ணாமலையின் தலைமை வந்தது.
அறம் செழித்திட , நாடு சிறந்திட , தமிழர் பெருமை கொள்ளட்டும். வாழ்க, வளர்க@annamalai_k@BJP4TamilNadupic.twitter.com/aeX2eyatjY
The BJP is banking on the young leader to boost the party's standing in the Dravidian state where it has long been a minor player.
