Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai flogged himself six times Friday morning.In a shocking video shared by news agency ANI, Mr Annamalai stands, shirtless in a green lungi, with a large whip in his hand. To adoring shouts and slogans, he then whips himself six times, a seventh stopped by a supporter who runs in, dodges the whip, and hugs Mr Annamalai.Why the self-flagellation? Because the senior BJP leader vowed last evening to whip himself six times to kickstart a mega protest, which includes a 48-day fast and a promise to go barefeet, against the ruling DMK with the target of ensuring its defeat in the 2026 Assembly election. n18oc_breaking-newsNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
