Chennai, Jun 27 (PTI) Brahmins in Tamil Nadu fully support BJP state chief K Annamalai for his honesty and efforts to usher in corruption-free governance, V Maitreyan, who joined the party recently, said on Tuesday.
The members of the community are aware that both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Annamalai are not Brahmins but have reposed faith on them for providing clean administration, he said.
"Brahmins seldom vote on caste lines. They want the good governance of Modi to continue," the former AIADMK leader said in a statement.
He dismissed as rumours that Annamalai deliberately sidelined the Brahmins in the party and stated that from his interaction with the members of the community and certain associations, he could infer that the Tamil Nadu state president has their unwavering support.
