Tamilisai resigns as Telangana, Puducherry Governor; eyes BJP ticket for LS polls from Tamil Nadu

New Indian Express  

Speculation suggests that Tamilisai is likely to get the BJP's ticket for the Central Madras constituency, presently held by DMK's Dayanidhi Maran. Earlier reports had indicated her inclination to contest under the BJP's leadership, prompting her resignation following the announcement of the Lok Sabha election date, with Tamil Nadu going to the polls in a single phase on April 19. She had served as the BJP's state president for Tamil Nadu from August 16, 2014, until her appointment as Telangana's governor. In the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, Tamilisai contested from the Thoothukudi constituency, facing defeat against DMK's Kanimozhi.
