Taking on Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, AIADMK General Secretary VK Sasikala on Wednesday said that he betrayed Amma and all party MLAs asked her to take the mantle of the party.

"All MLAs asked me who is this OPS. They told me to guide," she said in an interview with Network18.

Sasikala also said that she is ready to face any probe over the death of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa.

Here are highlights of the interview.

- 100% confident that I will be sworn in as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu.

- As far as AIADMK and I are concerned, they have chosen me and I am waiting patiently

- It's not true that O Panneerselvam was forced to resign

- No one knew the grief I felt when Amma died

- Yesterday, Panneerselvam came up with a new explanation, made a false and baseless accusation

- DMK's motive was always to destroy the AIADMK. They are our enemy party
