Senior party leader H Raja has been appointed as the convenor of a six-member Coordination Committee to run the Tamil Nadu BJP for three months.
As the state unit chief K Annamalai has proceeded to London to pursue a fellowship, the committee has been formed to look after the party's proceedings in the state.
Annamalai, who was appointed the state BJP chief in July 2021 within 11 months of his joining the party, left for London on August 29 to attend the three-month long Chevening Gurukul Fellowship for Leadership and Excellence programme, which runs between September and November.
In an announcement, BJP national general secretary Arun Singh said the coordination committee will be headed by H Raja, with M Chakravarthy, Prof P Kanagasabapathi, M Muruganandam, Prof Rama Sreenivasan, and SR Sekhar as members.
While Chakravarthy and Kanagasabapathi are vice-presidents, Muruganandam and Sreenivasan are general secretaries and Sekhar, the state unit’s treasurer.
"The Coordination Committee will hold discussion with the state core committee and will take decisions about party activities. Each member of the Coordination Committee will look after activities in one or two zones as to be decided by the state president and convener of the Coordination Committee,” Singh said in the statement.
