The event, addressed by Tamil Nadu BJP state president K Annamalai, saw the participation of over 1,000 social media volunteers from the state.

Encouraging unity and dedication among volunteers, he urged them to transcend differences and work towards the common goal of securing victory for PM Modi.

Annamalai echoed Sachdeva’s sentiments, emphasising the importance of truth over narrative in political discourse. He cautioned against divisive narratives propagated by certain factions and urged volunteers to counter misinformation with facts. Highlighting historical inaccuracies perpetuated by Opposition parties, Annamalai called for a concerted efforts to educate voters, especially first-time voters, about the ground realities.
