The BJP, which has been working on a plan to split the AIADMK ever since the death of Jayalalithaa is using O Panneerselvam to do a Manjhi in Tamil Nadu. This is an almost replica of the Bihar operation in which Jitan Ram Manjhi, who was entrusted the chief ministership by JDU leader Nitish Kumar and was later asked to resign in favour of Nitish, refused to step down, and claimed he had majority support in the Assembly with the help of the BJP, a pliant Governor who toed the Centre line, and PM.
