Newly elected AIADMK Legislature Party Leader Edappadi K Palaniswami met governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao and staked claim to form the government.

 

In his brief meeting with the Governor, Palaniswami presented a list of MLAs supporting his claim.

     

Some senior leaders and ministers also accompanied Palaniswami, according to sources.

   

He was elected AIADMK Legislature Party leader replacing V K Sasikala shortly after the Supreme Court convicted her in the disproportionate assets case.

   

It was not known how many MLAs attended the legislature party meeting chaired by Sasikala earlier in the day.
