K. Annamalai Tamil Nadu Politics Profile
Annamalai is one of the most recognised faces in modern Tamil Nadu politics. Before entering public life, he served as an IPS officer and became famous for his honest and strict approach to law enforcement. Born on June 4, 1984, in Karur district, he comes from an agricultural family.
He studied engineering from PSG College of Technology in Coimbatore and later completed his MBA from IIM Lucknow. These strong academic roots helped him build discipline and leadership early in life.
Rise in Public Life
Annamalai joined the IPS in 2011 and worked in Karnataka. People quickly noticed his firm and fearless policing style, which earned him the nickname “Singham.”
He worked as Assistant Superintendent of Police in Karkala and then became Deputy Commissioner of Police in South Bangalore. Even with a bright future in the service, he resigned in 2019 because he wanted to work more closely with people.
Entry Into Politics
He joined the BJP on August 25, 2020. Within a short time, he became the youngest President of the Tamil Nadu BJP in July 2021. His big campaign, “En Mann, En Makkal” (My Land, My People), took him across all 234 assembly constituencies of Tamil Nadu. This journey increased his popularity and strengthened the party’s presence.
In April 2025, he stepped down as state president. Union Home Minister Amit Shah praised his work and said Annamalai will continue to play an important role at the national level.
