“It is with a heavy heart that I have taken the decision to resign from TNBJP for not providing an opportunity for an investigation, equal rights and respect for women. Women are not safe under the leadership of Annamalai. I prefer to be trolled as an outsider,” Gayatri tweeted, tagging Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the party’s national president JP Nadda and national general secretary BL Santosh.
“No one cares about the true workers, the pursuit of the true workers by Annamalai is the only goal. I wish the BJP all the best,” she said in another tweet.
