O. Panneerselvam Drops A Bombshell: Tamil Nadu Faces An Anomalous Crisis

A tricky situation emerges in Tamil Nadu as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam claimed that he did it what he did just out of compulsion to make room for V K Sasikala and her family members. After Chinnamma Sasikala Natarajan taking over as CM, Mr. Panneerselvam was destined to hand over resignation to the Governor but apparently problem began when acting Governor Vidyasagar Rao asked him to pursue as a caretaker chief minister till a new cabinet took over.  The allegation, that his resignation was only the fruit of force that was imposed on him, will probably bring out a whole new story regarding whether the MLAs were also forced to sign papers of support out of which Sasikala was elected as the legislative party leader. Since Sasikala will be sworn in as Chief Minister, the Tamil Nadu government has no leadership at this moment of crisis that could drive them into the right trajectory.

In an exclusive interview to Network 18, VK Sasikala says O Panneerselvam is a “traitor who betrayed the AIADMK”. She says Panneerselvam is being backed by the DMK, “which wants to destroy the AIADMK”. “The manner in which Panneerselvam behaves in the Assembly, it seems he is one of them (DMK),” says Sasikala. On the other hand, Panneerselvam claimed that Jayalalithaa wanted senior leader E Madhusudhanan to be elected as the General Secretary of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam instead of Sasikala.

Even though the batton seems to be in the hand of the Governor regarding inviting Sasikala to form the government even after all such allegations made, what needs to be remembered is senior leader PH Pandian’s question regarding Sasikala’s eligibility to become chief minister. What is clear from the event is the probable foundation of split in AIADMK since Panneerselvam offered courage for those who were willing to oppose Sasikala and her family. Social media beig filled with #OPSMyCM is perhaps a sign of that only.
