Watch: Is Tamil Nadu witnessing its own ‘Operation Lotus’? | Focus Tamil Nadu
Politics in Tamil Nadu has entered a disturbing and controversial phase after four All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam MLAs resigned and joined the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam led by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay. Critics have likened the development to the BJP’s much-criticised “Operation Lotus” strategy seen in several States.
