O Panneerselvam Reportedly Unhappy in DMK, May Consider Joining TVK
Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam (OPS) and his son reportedly feel sidelined within the DMK, lacking significant roles nearly six months after joining. Despite OPS publicly denying plans to leave and reaffirming loyalty to the DMK, sources indicate dissatisfaction over limited influence in the Theni constituency, dominated by DMK MP Thanga Tamil Selvan. Discussions about quitting the DMK to join Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) have emerged amid ongoing speculation and political debate.
