AIADMK leader and Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker M Thambidurai, who has been in the forefront of the pro-Sasikala chorus, along with nine party MPs tonight arrived in Delhi amid political turmoil in Tamil Nadu.

130 AIADMK MLAs will also come to the national capital to meet President Pranab Mukherjee tomorrow.
Earlier, Thambidurai had dismissed Chief Minister O Panneerselvam's claim that he was forced to resign from the post and had insisted that AIADMK general secretary Sasikala would succeed him as all legislators were behind 'Chinnamma'.
He had said whether it was the coming civic poll or Parliamentary elections, they would win them under her leadership.
Earlier today, Sasikala had mustered an overwhelming majority of AIADMK MLAs against a rebellious Panneerselvam, who claimed to have their backing, but speculation was rife on what action Tamil Nadu Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao would take when he arrives here tomorrow from Mumbai after keeping away from this city for three days.
