ANNAMALAI: THE OXFORD QUESTION. Six months ago, I warned of a shift. Few believed me. Today, some supporters are stunned. Welcome to the hangover of “Andhbhakti.” I am a nationalist. Not BJP's lawyer. Not Congress's prosecutor. No politician gets blind faith. 4 June 2024. Annamalai was BJP State President. BJP won ZERO seats in Tamil Nadu. Even Annamalai lost Coimbatore. Margin: 1,18,068 votes. Then came Oxford. The Chevening Gurukul Fellowship for Leadership and Excellence. Funded by the British government. He had applied to this program. As founder of “We The Leaders.” Not as BJP state president. Interesting? Yes. After he came back from the Program. 4 December 2025. He told BJP he wanted out. BJP asked him to finish election work. 5 June 2026. He left. Later, he credited Oxford with helping him reassess politics. Today, he questions the Centre he once defended. Now, consider Oxford's history. For decades, Oxford's ecosystem has intersected with intelligence. Its academic networks were used for British intelligence recruitment. Its alumni have led MI5, MI6, and even America's CIA. The CIA funded covert cultural influence networks. Some operated inside India for Anti-India Activities. This is documented history. Chevening openly calls its fellowships tools of British interest public diplomacy. Was Annamalai compromised? I am not saying that. Has his politics shifted? Absolutely yes. This isn't BJP versus Congress. It's citizens versus personality cults. When loyalty becomes religion, evidence looks like blasphemy. Nation first. Leaders second. Scrutinise EVERY leader. Judge actions. Consistency. Results. Faith belongs in temples. Accountability belongs in politics.
