The meeting of AIADMK MLAs in Chennai is over. Sasikala called for a meeting of AIADMK MLAs at the party office. Of the party's 134 lawmakers, about 100 are on her side. She is likely to address the media later today. She said no one can break the unity of the party. Reports say she addressed MLAs at the meeting and urged them not to support traitors, a reference to O Panneerselvam.

Panneerselvam has said that he will meet Governor Vidyasagar Rao after he returns to Chennai. He said after assuming the CM's position, the experiences which he went through has pained him a lot. "Being a CM I was targeted and humiliated," he said.

AIADMK senior leader Dr Maitereyan said the rank and file support O Panneerselvam since he is Amma's choice. "The people and cadre support OPS. The BJP can give moral support to OPS, but strength will be tested in an Assembly.

Sasikala has maintained that she did not force OPS to resign.
