Palaniswamy stakes claim to form govt
He was elected AIADMK leader after Sasikala was convicted by SC in disproportionate assets case
AIADMK Legislative Party Leader 'Edappadi' Palaniswamy calling on Tamil Nadu Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao to stake claim for formation of government at Raj Bhavan in Chennai
He was elected AIADMK Legislature Party leader replacing V K Sasikala shortly after the Supreme Court convicted her in the disproportionate assets case.
Last week, the Governor had met Panneerselvam and later Sasikala, who had staked claim to form the government.
It was not known how many MLAs attended the legislature party meeting chaired by Sasikala earlier in the day.
The Madras High Court was yesterday informed by the state public prosecutor that 119 AIADMK MLAs were staying in the resort, near here, on their own volition.
