"I will prove my strength in the assembly. Whoever extends support to Tamil people, we will accept it," the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister said.
He also said that he never betrayed the AIADMK and would resign if the party members wanted him to.
"There has been no instance where I have betrayed the party while in power or in opposition. If party cadres want me to resign, I will.
