Tuesday night brought quite a storm in Tamil Nadu politics. After a surprise visit to Jayalalitha’s memorial on the Marina Beach, O Panneerselvam sat in a meditation for 40 minutes after which he broke his silence on how he was ‘ forced to resign from the post of chief minister.’
Pannerselvam said that he wasn’t informed in advance about the legislature party’s meeting to elect Sasikala as the party chief and that her appointment was communicated to him at the last moment.
He further claimed that Amma wanted him to be the chief minister and that was forced to resign from the post for V K Sasikala and if had people’s support, he would withdraw his resignation.
With continuous twists in the dramatized Tamil Nadu politics, Twitter started buzzing with a lot of people reacting strongly to the news.
While many posts loaded with ‘panner’ puns, others compared his silence (till then) to the infamous silence of former PM Dr. Manmohan Singh.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the situation:
Paneer only putting Butter.
Finally O. Panneerselvam comes out.
We have so far seen Panneer only putting Butter.
Today we saw him add Masala.— Ramesh Srivats (@rameshsrivats) February 7, 2017
Single on Valentine’s day
Panneerselvam is that guy who broke up & later realized that he will be single on Valentine’s day. Now he wants to be in relationship again.
