The BJP on Saturday named Nainar Nagendran as the President of its Tamil Nadu unit.<\/p>\n
Mr Nagendran, a three-time MLA from Tirunelveli, replaces K Annamalai in the top job and will be tasked with jumpstarting the party’s fortunes in next year’s Assembly election, in a state that has historically always rejected the BJP and its brand of muscular nationalism.<\/p>\n
The new Tamil Nadu BJP boss’ job will possibly be made easier by the party also announcing a renewed alliance with the AIADMK. Mr Nagendran won the Tirunelveli seat in 2001 and 2011 on an AIADMK ticket before he switched camps.<\/p>\n
