CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Governor C Vidyasagar Rao on Thursday appointed Edappadi K Palaniswami as chief minister. The Governor invited him to form the ministry at the earliest.

The governor requested the chief minister-designate to seek the vote confidence of the assembly within 15 days.

His appointment is in acceptance of the "letter of submitted by Palaniswami on Tuesday that he was elected as the leader of the AIADMK

legislature party at a meeting of the party MLAs held on that day," a Raj Bhavan press note said.

Rao conveyed his decision to Palaniswami when the latter visited Raj Bhavan at 11.30am, along with party presidium chairman K A Sengottaiyan and senior ministers Dindigul C Sreenivasan and P Thangamani.

If fate of T N is this, no way our state will develop.
There is no reason to believe that the change will be bad for tamilnadu or it will not develop.

Tamilnadu politicians run a govt based on freebies and subsidies for a large section of people.

People are the least bothered about which dravidian party gives it to them .

If the govt stays stable- which requires distribution of rewards to those in the ruling party and threats to those who do not fall in line- then the govt will last long.

The alternatives -either OPS group or other parties are no different. So one chooses the least evil which gives maximum gain to common people.

State will develop if the centre does not discriminate in doling out central assistance .

It would be good if sasikala gets transferred to tamil nadu prison as her stay in bengaluru will be a security risk for tamils in bengaluru.
 
A stable government in the present scenario is least likely to be true. Whether EPS or OPS both have their own compulsions. The most likely situation we are staring at is Presidents Rule within a span of six months..
 
This is only a temporary respite in Tamil nadu politics. The realignment and fresh elections are not far away for Tamil nadu, since it is doubtful of getting the support of grassroot workers of AIADMK to the present organization set up of a family.
 
[h=1]Sasikala vs Panneerselvam: In Chennai's political match, Mannargudi defeats Tamil Nadu[/h]

Will the AIADMK survive the next four years and stay in power? It looks extremely difficult because there are too many factors that are not in its control.

One, It has a razor thin majority now. Any conflict and Palaniswami will have to ensure that he keeps the entire flock happy. Apart from cabinet berths, he will have to ensure the MLAs are rewarded with plum posts of chairmen of corporations.

But if an uprising of the kind one saw at the Marina happens, it will expose the faultlines within the ruling party. Because even if half a dozen MLAs rally against the government, it will bring Palaniswami within kissing distance of losing power. Such a government will always be prone to blackmail and threats. The CM will always have to lean on Dinakaran to keep unhappy lawmakers in check.

Two, an antagonistic relationship with the Centre. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has gone on record to say two central ministers were showing an undue interest in Tamil Nadu affairs. It is an open secret that the BJP was not too pleased with the idea of Palaniswami taking over as CM and preferred Panneerselvam. But with the Sasikala camp closing ranks, the outside elements had to eat humble pie. Political revenge would be a matter of time.

Three, Palaniswami is from the powerful Gounder community that traditionally does not see eye to eye with the Thevars, the caste to which Sasikala and Dinakaran belong. The AIADMK despite being led by a Brahmin chief minister in Jayalalithaa was always known as a Thevar-dominated party and how the community MLAs react to the leadership of a Gounder will be its acid test. The future of the AIADMK will to a large extent depend on the equation between Thevar Dinakaran and Gounder Palaniswami.

Four, who holds the remote control? The perception that Palaniswami will make a trip to Bengaluru central prison before taking important decisions will undermine the government. He is seen as Sasikala's proxy with the shadow of Mannargudi over his government looming large.

Five, there is already talk of a youth movement demanding President's rule in Tamil Nadu. Should that happen and Palaniswami is forced to crush it using brute police force, it will further alienate him from the people. The chief minister needs to realise that the anger is not against him, but against Sasikala. The more it seems that Dinakaran is doing backseat driving, the more Palaniswami's mileage will fall.

Not that the AIADMK seems to understand this. Its Rajya Sabha MP Navneethakrishnan says Sasikala as party chief will "advise'' the government. That is perhaps because the interpretation of the result is different in the Sasikala camp.
Team Sasikala believes they are in fact, the real Chennai Super Kings who defeated Delhi Daredevils in the Tamil Nadu political league. How despite alleged attempts by forces outside Tamil Nadu to queer the pitch for Sasikala and company, she survived Panneerselvam's mutiny of 2017.
