It is almost an open secret that O Panneerselvam has revolted against Sasikala with the support of the Central Government. Modi government do not want Sasikala at the helm and is playing its cards with the help of Governor, Vidya Sagar Rao who is helping OPS to garner the support by delaying Sasikala’s oath.
But then, it is a very risky game for Modi in Tamil Nadu. BJP currently has Zero MLAs in Tamil Nadu and is unlikely to smell even the opposition position in the coming days. Moreover, the Presidential Elections are coming very soon and Modi desperately needs support from the South to have his Candidate as the President.
If at all he messes with Sasikala and she happens to become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, it will be a big headache for Modi during the President’s elections. So, the Center should not be going to that extent of irking Sasikala unless it is aware that Panneerselvam is going to pull it off.
