Poes Garden has a special place in Tamil Nadu political circles. It remained an iconic political centre until late TN CM Jayalalithaa was alive. However, the latest happenings in Tamil Nadu are resulting in it losing its sheen.
After the revolt of caretaker CM Panneerselvam against Sasikala, the CM aspirant, the political wave is slowly shifting towards Jayalalithaa’s loyal deputy. As per media reports, TN people are now supporting OPS more than Sasikala as the political tactics she used in the past 2-3 days have brought her severe criticism.
MPs, MLAs, Ministers and AIADMK cadres are also shifting their loyalties towards Panneerselvam. Party workers from across the state are reportedly coming to meet OPS at his house to announce their support and also enroll their names at the counters situated at his house. With this, a festival resembling atmosphere has engulfed OPS’s house.
On the other hand, the ever-busy Poes Garden has reportedly turned all gloomy with not much happenings. The visits of party cadres have also diminished. After seeing the success of meals’ arrangement for the visitors at OPS’s house, similar arrangements were made at Veda Nilayam near Poes Garden. Even this tactic isnt helping.
