As the power struggle in Tamil Nadu shows no sign of abating, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam's working president MK Stalin met Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao and asked him to order a floor test.

According to media reports, Madras high court Chief Justice Sanjay Kishan will also meet the governor to discuss the ongoing political tussle in the state.

"I have asked the governor to call the assembly soon and bring all the 'imprisoned' MLAs and call for a vote," Stalin told reporters after the meeting.

"We have submitted a memorandum regarding eastablishment of a governemtn in the state," he added.

Earlier, the Madras high court had sought the Tamil Nadu government's response to allegations that All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam MLAs were being illegally detained in a resort near Chennai and 20 of them were on a fast.

Referring to claims by the counsel for habeas corpus petitioners that the 20 MLAs were on a fast protesting their illegal detention, a division bench of justices C T Selvam and T Mathivanan said if true, it was a matter of serious concern, but added the court cannot act on mere submissions of counsel.
