As expected, former state unit chief K. Annamalai missed out as the BJP on Friday announced the candidates' list for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
Tamilisai Soundararajan is contesting from Mylapore, while Union Minister L. Murugan is in the fray from Avinashi. Vanathi Srinivasan and Nainar Nagendran will contest from Coimbatore North and Sattur respectively. Including these two seasoned leaders, there are five women in the 27-strong list.
Three sitting MLAs have been re-nominated by the saffron party, which is the second-largest member of the AIADMK-led NDA front in the southern state.
