Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu today said that both the Central and the BJP have nothing to do with the ‘internal matters’ of crisis-ridden AIADMK in Tamil Nadu.
Speaking to reporters here, the Union Minister said that Governor C Vidyasagar Rao will take a decision in line with the Constitution to resolve the issue.
"I don't want to comment on what is happening internally in AIADMK. And Centre and BJP doesn't have any role in it. Secondly, the allegations against the Governor too are wrong. He will take the right decision at the right time in line with the Constitution and after seeking opinion of legal experts," he told reporters.
Asked about allegations levelled against him by some of his opponents that BJP was behind him, Pannerselvam today said, "They (his opponent) don't have any strong ground against me. They can't level any allegation against me."
Meanwhile, amid political uncertainty in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao, who also holds charge for the southern state, today continued to stay put in Mumbai with no indication of when he will travel to Chennai.
"So far, we have no information on whether the Governor has any travel plans today for Chennai or Delhi," a Raj Bhavan official said.
Yesterday, Raj Bhavan sources had said Rao may leave for Chennai in a day or two.
Political crisis looms large over Tamil Nadu after O Panneerselvam last night dropped a bombshell, saying that he was forced to resign as Chief Minister to make way for AIADMK General Secretary VK Sasikala, who waits to be sworn in for the top job.
The Man Friday of late J Jayalalithaa chose to break his silence on the happenings in the party ever since the death of his mentor on December 5, saying he was being "insulted" by senior ministers and leaders who sought to "undermine" him after electing him the Chief Minister.
