Amid a standoff with party co-coordinator and Chief Minister K Palaniswami over constituting an 11-member steering committee and on who should be the Chief Minister candidate of the party for the 2021 Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, Panneerselvam, on his twitter handle gave a cryptic message.

“My decisions so far have been in the interest of the people of Tamil Nadu and the AIADMK volunteers. It will still be the same. Whatever happened it went well! Whatever happens it goes well !! Whatever is going to happen will happen well too !!”  hesaid, The popular verses are from the Bhagavad Gita.

 

Asked about the tweet, political analyst Sumanth Raman said there could be two interpretations of Panneerselvam’s cryptic message.

“One is that he was going to take a big decision. Another is that there may not be a drastic move considering factors like strengthening the party and fulfilling the wishes of the cadres,” he told P T I.

The message has been worded in a cryptic fashion deliberately to create a sense of expectation from him and to turn the focus on him, Raman said.

The Deputy Chief Minister may also expect a face-saver kind of an arrangement from Palaniswami, he said.
