Suspense continued over whether V K Sasikala will be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after she staked out a claim to form the government at a meeting with TN Governor C Vidyasagar Rao.
Rao has not yet given any indication as to what course of action he will take in the formation of government.
Hours after caretaker Chief Minister O Panneerselvam visited Rao, Sasikala called on the Governor at Raj Bhavan and gave him a letter containing the names of all the MLAs who elected her as the AIADMK Legislature Party leader on Sunday. She also submitted individual letters of support furnished by the AIADMK MLAs.
Though there was no immediate word on what the Governor proposed to do, some reports suggested he wanted to obtain further legal opinion before taking any action.
Sasikala's meeting with the Governor lasted about 40 minutes.
