A video of Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President K Annamalai crying during a speech is circulating online, with claims that it was recorded after he lost the Coimbatore constituency in the Lok Sabha elections. However, the truth is that the video is not recent and actually dates back to April 2024, when Annamalai became emotional during a speech in Kasturi Naickenpalayam, Coimbatore.

Users sharing the video are claiming that this video was recorded after he lost the Coimbatore constituency in the Lok Sabha elections.

The claim states, “He worked 24×7 for 3 years. He reached to every part of Tamil Nadu. BJP vote share is now 19% in Tamil Nadu & when he took charge it was just 8%. Tears in his eyes means a lot. But he will come back. Annamalai is the future of Tamil Nadu. I love him & will always support him.” (sic)
