Within an hour of O Panneerselvam declaring that he was coerced to quit as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, the habitually low-profile politician was having a bit of a social media moment. By midnight, he was the material of two trends on Twitter. Outside his home, supporters held up their phones to display memes and other "forwards" that aggrandized the 66-year-old as "thalaiva" or "leader". Others photoshopped him into characters played by superstar Rajinikanth.
