Taking to social media X, Annamalai, in a post, wrote, 'Along with our Hon MoS Thiru@Murugan_MoSavl, glad to have met our Hon Railways Minister Thiru@AshwiniVaishnawavl in his office today & attended the joint review meeting.'
'The review meeting was attended by people from 8 districts in Tamil Nadu and district-level functionaries of@BJP4TamilNadu.

Earlier in the day, Annamalai also targeted Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin over the ongoing three-language policy controversy, calling him a 'con artist' who is 'masquerading' as a protector of the constitution.
In a post on X, Annamalai alleged that the DMK is scamming both the rich and the poor.'Thiru @mkstalin, you are a con artist masquerading as a protector of our constitution and our federal structure. Usually, con artists scam the rich, but DMK shows no disparity; they scam both the rich and the poor,' Annamalai said.
Calling out the hypocrisy of MK Stalin, the BJP leader claimed that the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu's family owns private schools that teach three languages but opposes the same policy for the state's government school students.
'The whole country now knows that the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu's family owns private schools that teach three languages and more but opposes the same policy for the state's government school students. They are calling you a hypocrite, Thiru @mkstalin,' the BJP leader said. (ANI)
