In India's vibrant political landscape, several former chief ministers have embarked on intriguing journeys of party-switching.
Among them, three-time Tamil Nadu chief minister O Panneerselvam recently joined arch-rival DMK, following others like Pema Khandu and Bansi Lal who managed to regain their top posts after crossing the political divide.
