Following the rebellion of O Panneerselvam, As many as 130 MLAs backing VK Sasikala Natarajan's candidature as Chief Minister were taken to a secret location in a bus. It is believed that they were taken to a Hotel to prevent the lobbying of Panneerselvam's Camp until Governor calls for the swearing-in ceremony.
Tamil Nadu Governor C Vidyasagar Rao is likely to reach Chennai Tomorrow afternoon. He might call for the swearing-in ceremony of Sasikala based on her election as the Leader of the AIADMK Legislative Party or Ask Sasikala & Pannerselvam to prove their strength in the Assembly.
Out of 234 Seats in Tamil Nadu Assembly, AIADMK won 135 in the elections held last year. While DMK have 89 seats, Congress bagged 8 seats and IUAML managed to get 1 seat. With the demise of Jayalalithaa, RK Nagar seat fell vacant and hence ruling party have 134 MLAs at present. About 118 Seats were required to form the Government. If the 130 MLAs support Sasikala, Panneerselvam will have a tough time. In case if Panneerselvam manages to get at least 20 MLAs on his side, Sasikala willn't be able to attain the magic figure.
