Earlier in the day, Annamalai while talking about the death of the four members of a family in Tiruppur to the news agency ANI said, "It is painful and shocking that along Mohanraj, his younger brother, mother and aunt were brutally hacked to death. My condolences to the Mohanraj family."

While slamming the DMK government, the Tamil Nadu BJP chief said, "How many more civilians will have to die so that the liquor dealers of the DMK government can make money by opening liquor shops in every street and encouraging the sale of unregulated liquor?"

He also lashed out at Chief Minister MK Stalin over him projecting himself as the 'Number One CM' at a time when murders are allegedly taking place in the state every day.

Annamalai said, "When murders are happening in Tamil Nadu every day, law and order is in disarray, isn't the Chief Minister ashamed to advertise himself as the number one Chief Minister," as quoted by ANI.
