Stalin backs OPS, wants functional govt in Tamil Nadu

February 08, 2017 08:24

Tamil Nadu chief minister O Paneerselvam received support from unexpected quarters -- opposition party leader and DMK working president M K Stalin - after the former declared that he had forced to resign.

Stalin said "strict action" should be taken against the people who had forced a sitting chief minister to resign. Stalin said DMK would function not as an enemy but as an opposition party and support a functional government in this time of crisis.

He urged the acting Governor C Vidyasagar Rao to establish a "functional government" in Tamil Nadu immediately.

Stalin said, "The Governor must do this either by convening the assembly or by finding out which party has the support of MLA majority."
