Former Indian Police Service officer Kuppuswamy Annamalai is simply 4 years into his avatar as a politician however is already wanting like a professional. At Palladam, on the outskirts of Coimbatore, the Lok Sabha constituency he’s contesting from, bursting crackers and the beating of drums greet the arrival of his saffron mini-bus. Wearing a white dhoti-kurta and sporting a craggy beard and hair, Annamalai steps on the hydraulic raise pedestal that allows him to pop up from the roof of the bus. Exterior, social gathering employees wave Bharatiya Janata Social gathering (BJP) flags furiously whereas cut-outs of Prime Minister Narendra Modi beam down from the poles that line the highway.
