OPS Shift Sparks Buzz in Theni Campaign

At Palani Chettipatti in Theni district, the usually calm morning was filled with loud drumbeats and campaign songs of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). A large number of men and women gathered on the main road, creating a lively and energetic scene.

People were holding posters of M. K. Stalin, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, along with his new political associate O. Panneerselvam. The gathering showed strong support and excitement among party workers and local residents.

For Panneerselvam, who has served as Chief Minister three times, this marks a bold and important change in his political journey. He shifted his support after differences with Edappadi K. Palaniswami, the general secretary of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).

This change has drawn attention across Tamil Nadu politics, as it could influence voter opinions and party strength in the upcoming elections. The strong turnout and loud campaign activities in the area reflect the growing political energy ahead of the polls.
