OPS Exits NDA Following Denied Meeting with PM Modi in Tamil Nadu

In a dramatic turn of events, former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam (OPS) has announced his departure from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). This decision comes after his request to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Tuticorin Airport during the PM’s recent visit to Tamil Nadu was declined.

Denied Meeting Fuels OPS Exit

OPS, who had written to the Prime Minister seeking permission for a meeting, was reportedly left disappointed when his request was denied. This perceived snub appears to be the catalyst for his decision to break ties with the NDA.

Political Implications of OPS Departure

The political ramifications of OPS leaving the NDA remain to be seen. His departure could potentially reshape the political landscape in Tamil Nadu, particularly within the AIADMK and its alliance with the BJP.
