Delay in inviting us to form govt is attempt to divide party: Sasikala

Chennai, Feb 11 (IBNS): After meeting her party MLAs, AIADMK supremo and chief minister-ship aspirant VK Sasikala on Saturday said the delay in inviting her to form the government is an attempt to divide the party.

Speaking to mediapersons after a meeting with party MLAs at Kuvathur, “AIADMK MLAs are strong. I felt like I was meeting family members. I think delaying decision (on inviting us to form government) is an attempt to divide out party."

Sasikala has urged Tamil Nadu governor C Vidyasagar Rao to make haste for the sake of the state, according to media reports on Saturday.

Meanwhile, state minister K Pandiarajan, known to be a Sasikala supporter, has now joined acting Chief Minister O 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, in the day, 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 matte, media reported.

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