'Not Only Do I Not Have Support But...': Actor Gautami Tadimalla Resigns From BJP After 25 Years

Actor Gautami Tadimalla resigned from the BJP's Tamil Nadu unit, saying that several people from the party have been actively helping and supporting the person who betrayed her.

Actor Gautami Tadimalla resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party's Tamil Nadu unit on Monday. Citing a lack of support from the party, she said that several people from the party have been actively helping and supporting the person who betrayed her. Tedimalla, who was part of the saffron party for last 25 years, said that C Alagappan swindled her of her money, property and documents. 

"Today I stand at an unimaginable crisis point in my life and find that not only do I not have any support from the Party and leaders, but it has also come to my knowledge that several amongst them have been actively helping and supporting the very person who has betrayed my trust and cheated me of my life savings," Tadimalla said in a statement. 
 

Despite the saffron party "rescinding" in the last minute, its assurance to give her a ticket in the 2021 Assembly polls in the state, she remained committed to the BJP, Tadimalla said in a statement uploaded on her X account. She said she has decided to resign from the party with a "heavy heart and disillusionment" and tagged BJP national president J P Nadda and the saffron party's TN chief K Annamalai among others in her social media post.

She said she had decided to resign from the party with a "heavy heart and disillusionment" and alleged that Alagappan "has swindled me of my money, property and documents." "....not only do I not have any support from the party and leaders, but it has also come to my knowledge that several amongst them have been actively helping and supporting the very person who has betrayed my trust and cheated me of my life earnings," she said in the detailed statement.

In the statement, Tedimalla stated that she has lodged complaints with the police about the cheating and said she has hope in Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and the judicial system to ensure her justice.

The actor further said she was entrusted with the development of the Rajapalayam constituency during the 2021 polls and assured she would be fielded from there, after which she dedicated herself to strengthening the party at the grassroots level.

"However, this assurance to contest was rescinded at the last minute. Regardless, I maintained my commitment to the party," she said but expressed regret that even after 25 years of service to the organisation, there was no support.

Several senior members of the party were "enabling" the man who had cheated her in "dodging justice and absconding since the last 40 days, even after FIRs have been filed." She said she was writing the letter of resignation "in great pain and sorrow, but with very firm resolve."
