After the sudden revolt by Chief Minister O.Panneer Selvam on Wednesday night the entire Tamil Nadu political scene has gone into disarray. The ruling AIADMK party's General Secretary V.K.Sasikala has expelled OPS from the party's treasurer post and also announced that his basic membership will be cancelled.
Sasikala conducted a meeting of the party MLAs in the headquarters in Royapettah,Chennai. Sources claimed that 130 MLAs of the party except the three members who have offered support to OPS attended the meeting convened by the party head.
Now it seems that Sasikala and the MLAs supporting her will be flying to New Delhi and meet Pranab Mukharjee, the President of India to order C.Vidyasagar Rao the Governor of Tamil Nadu to facilitate the swearing in of Sasikala as CM as she claims the support of all but four MLAs of the ruling party.
As the Delhi visit is expected to happen tomorrow the MLAs have been allegedly made to stay in a star hotels near the Chennai Airport at Meenambakkam. It is also said that all of them have been ferried in busses to the designated place of stay This has raised various questions. Political commentators in social media claim that this is a move to stop MLAs from moving to the other faction that is the group supporting OPS.
Meanwhile OPS who has been on a whirlwind interaction sessions with the press and exclusive interviews to media outlets has been claiming that he will prove the majority of his supporters when the Tamil Nadu Assembly session is convened.
It is still not clear as to when the Governor of TN will return to the state even after the onset of such a power struggle in the ruling party.
