Madhan blames Annamalai for video leak

YouTuber and journalist Madhan Ravichandran, who was sacked from the BJP for releasing an alleged explicit video against former party state general secretary KT Raghavan, made a u-turn on Thursday targeting BJP president K Annamalai by releasing audio clips stating that the state BJP chief was the mastermind behind the whole episode of the sexual misconduct video and claimed that he was just a publisher. 

In the video, Venba, who is an associate in the Madan Diary channel said that the women who earlier volunteered to expose the BJP leaders are now facing life threat from the BJP cadre. Madan and Venba in their videos said that it was Annamalai, who gave them the go ahead for the clip, but backtracked after the release. 

After sealing the political future of Raghavan, now he has shown his colours by sacking me from the party, Madhan, who recently joined the BJP in the presence of state in-charge CT Ravi, said. 

The YouTuber also alleged that Annamalai negotiated with him and his friend Venba to release the video and promised key party posts in return, but we were sacked, Madhan said in his Facebook video post. 

When contacted, BJP spokespersons and party seniors, all of them unanimously said no more comments on Madhan Ravichandran leaks. And as usual party state president K Annamalai shared tweets and picture of BJP workers in the state and chose to maintain away from the leaks.

On Tuesday, Madan had released a controversial video in social media, purportedly showing Raghavan in an explicit video call with a woman. Raghavan, who announced his resignation on Twitter, denied his involvement in the video and claimed it was meant to tarnish his image and also that of the party.
