Chennai, Feb 12 (IBNS): Tamil Nadu acting Chief Minister O Panneerselvam on Sunday got a boost with three more MPs of AIADMK extending their support to him leaving party chief VK Sasikala's camp, media reports said.

According to reports, three MPs-Jaisingh Thiyagaraj Natterjee  of Tuticorin, Senguttuvan of Vellore and R P Marutharaja of Perambalur-extended their support to OPS.

State minister K Pandiarajan, known to be a Sasikala supporter, on Saturday joined Panneerselvam's camp.

He tweeted on Saturday, "Will surely listen to the collective voice of my voters & decide in a way to uphold the dignity of Amma's memory & unity of AIADMK !"

Later, party spokesperson C Ponnaiyan and Tirupur MP V Sathyabama also joined the OPS camp giving the acting CM a boost.

Earlier on Saturday, two party MPs Ashok Kumar and PR Sundaram also extended their support to Panneerselvam.

Sasikala staked her claim to form the government two days ago but Governor Rao has refrained from saying anything on the matter, media reported.

The Supreme Court's verdict on the corruption case against Sasikala and others is expected next week.
