Sources : TN BJP, is jittery as its grand plans to create a situation of destabilisation against DMK government has fallen flat. With egg on its face, the BJP leadership is trying hard to create the arrest of rabid YouTuber Maridass’s arrest a huge issue. 1/6
But so far the issue has failed to gain traction except among BJP circles.
The jitteriness is so palpable that TN BJP President Annamalai lost his cool during a presser and abused the TN HoPF and TN Police calling the force ‘the worst among the country’. 2/6
TN Police too, for its part has acted smartly and arrested Maridass in Prison in an old case in Chennai City Police. This nullifies the BJP’s efforts to ensure Maridss walks out of prison on Monday through High Court. Instead of seeking bail, RSN Law Firm, 3/6
a firm belonging to TN Additional Solicitor General Sankaranarayanan chose to file a quash petition seeking quash of the FIR.
So even if that FIR is quashed, Maridass will continue to be in prison as he is arrested in another case. 4/6
Further, highly placed sources say, Maridass is likely to be arrested in another FIR pending against him in Melapalayam PS.
To up the anté TN President Annamalai is likely to meet the Governor of TN today and launch a complaint against the Stalin government. 5/6
Following the complaint, the TN Governor is likely to issue a statement that Raj Bhavan has called for a report on this incident from Govt., so that the TN BJP & Gurumurthy can wipe some of the egg off their face. 6/6

This has led to panic among senior leaders and they have sent emissaries to VK Sasikala and have started talking to her and plotting a coup. Sasikala’s statement after the election announcement assumes significance.
She stated that there is no room for confusion. 2/5
Things will settle down in some time.
Both EPS & OPS have announced elections for the posts of ‘Coordinator’ and ‘Joint Coordinator’ alone so that they could share the posts among themselves. A few leaders of ADMK feel that, once they are elected, 3/5
