AIADMK General Secretary VK Sasikala today staked claim to form the government during a 40-minute meeting with Governor Vidyasagar Rao, who reached Chennai today.
Couple of hours after caretaker Chief Minister O Panneerselvam visited Mr Rao, Sasikala called on the Governor and gave him a letter presumably containing the names of MLAs who elected her as AIADMK Legislature Party Leader, and requested him to invite her to form the government.
However, the Governor’s response is not immediately known. Meanwhile, the Chief Minister is now meeting his supporters at his Greenways Road official residence.
Sasikala was elected Legislature Party Leader on Februar 5, paving the way for her becoming the chief minister. Subsequently, Panneerselvam raised a banner of revolt on February 7, along with his supporters.
