Chennai: Gayathri Raguramm who resigned from the BJP on Tuesday said the party is like a parents' home to her but right now they are not listening to her problems. Gayathri alleged that Annamalai made disrespectful comments about her in a closed meeting in front of 150 BJP functionaries.
"I was in a Dubai hotel with DMK members in my room. A few reports say there is a video of mine circulating on WhatsApp. I was scared. It was disgusting. It was very shocking. Those were cooked-up stories. I asked Annamalai about the proof of whatever he said. Character assassination was done by BJP State president Annamalai," Gayathri said.
"Recently we have had an audio leak between Daisy and Suriya. After that issue, I started to raise my voice. Then I got suspended. They did not even enquire about my side of the truth. I have raised this issue to the national leaders also. I don't want to mention their names." Gayathri told the media.
"Within the party, there is war room to attack me. Where would I go? None turned up to enquire about this. I tried my best to hold on to the BJP. Even Annamalai has 5-6 war rooms which spread cooked-up stories about other leaders. I would complain to the Police about the videos whatever trap Annamalai has," Gayathri was quoted as saying by ANI.
"Police have to take this in a serious way and should investigate the 'honeytrap' videos," Gayathri insisted on what she wants with the videos to be done by the police. Being asked about Gayathri's future plans, she said, "BJP is my parental home. Right now my parents are not listening to me. Eventually, I am looking for someone who can guide me. If my parents (Senior Leaders like Vanathi, L Murugan and all) call me back, I would definitely go back to my parent's home (BJP)".
The former BJP Other State and Overseas Tamil Development wing President was suspended from the party in November as the party president accused her of violating party discipline. Annamalai, in his communication suspending her had said, "Gayathri Raguramm continuously has been involved in party unlawful activities. For this, she has been suspended from all designations of the party for six months. Party cadres are asked not to be in touch with her."
