Nayanar is currently an MLA from Tirunelveli assembly seat in Tamil Nadu. Currently, he is also handling the responsibility of Tamil Nadu BJP Vice President. Nayanar Nagendran is the leader of the BJP Legislature Party in the Tamil Nadu Assembly. He was at Jayalalithaa’s party AIADMK before joining BJP. From 2001 to 2006, Nagendran has also been the Minister of Nagendran in the Jayalalitha government of Tamil Nadu. According to media reports, the AIADMK put a condition before the alliance that Annamalai would have to be removed from the post of state president. At the same time, AIADMK leader Palaniswami also comes from the Gounder caste like Annamalai, so social engineering would be affected, so the BJP planned to give Annamalai responsibility at the center and instead it was agreed to make Nayanar Nagendran as the state president.
