The AIADMK government in Tamil Nadu is safe for the time being. Governor Vidyasagar Rao after consultations with New Delhi has decided not to act on the withdrawal of support by 19 MLAs to the Edappadi Palaniswami government. Rao, who is also governor of Maharashtra, is being replaced by a full-time governor for Tamil Nadu by the end of this month, according to sources in the Prime Minister's Office. A reshuffle of governors is scheduled to take place in any case, to fill the five vacancies. Governor Rao believes the person who will replace him in Tamil Nadu should not voice his opinion on the withdrawal of support to the EPS government. He has just a week more in the state, and Governor Rao naturally does not want to rock the boat and hopes the crisis will pass without having to step in. Political observers say the merger of the EPS and OPS governments have worked out well.
