Tamil Nadu: The Tamil Nadu unit of BJP today defended O Panneerselvam in the ongoing power tussle within the ruling AIADMK, saying he has worked “wisely” during the past two months and accused his party leadership of creating “confusion” in the state in its bid to capture power.Speaking to reporters here, BJP’s Tamil Nadu president Tamilisai Soundararajan said Governor C Vidyasagar Rao did the “right thing” by not visiting Tamil Nadu earlier and there by, not coming under the influence of anyone before  he arrives at any decision. “According to us, Panneerselvam was acting wisely for the past two months. He faced challenges like Vardah cyclone, Jallikattu agitation and handled these situations in a proper way. We are asking as a state party, why they are in a hurry?” she asked.Answering the question herself, Soundararajan, without naming AIADMK general secretary V K Sasikala-led group, accused it of trying to create "confusion" in its bid to capture power by replacing Panneerselvam.
