Within 24 hours of its launch, more than 13 lakh people register for Tamil Nadu politician K. Annamalai’s ‘We the Leaders’ movement, according to reports from Times of India and The Economic Times. Both outlets describe the registration figure as a rapid initial response soon after the programme goes live. The accounts also highlight how Annamalai presents the initiative. He describes it as a decentralised, collective effort rather than a campaign centred on his personal political ambition. In this framing, the movement is positioned as an organised platform intended to draw in large numbers of participants and channel their involvement. Times of India additionally links the registration surge to public interest in an alternative political direction in the state, while avoiding a specific claim about downstream electoral impact. The reports broadly agree on the core development: the movement attracts over 13 lakh registrations in its first day and is pitched as a broad-based, participatory initiative rather than a single-leader project.
