Old Video Of K Annamalai Falsely Shared As Him Crying After Losing Polls
NDTV
Users sharing the video are claiming that this video was recorded after he lost the Coimbatore constituency in the Lok Sabhaelections.
A video of Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President K Annamalai crying during delivering a speech on stage is going viral online. This was shared by News18 Tamil Nadu on 17 April which predates the election results. Taking a cue, we performed a keyword search in Tamil language using 'Annamalai crying on stage April' on Google and this led us to a report by Tamil outlet Dinamalar. This was also published on 17 April and stated that Annamalai broke into tears on stage in Kasturi Naickenpalayam, Coimbatore. It also stated that he became emotional while speaking to the elderly from the village and expressed his desire to visit this place.
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 24x7 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)
