Chennai, Feb 16: If reports are to be believed Tamil Nadu governor Vidyasagar Rao is still in a fix regarding the formation of government in the state. "As of now, neither O Panneerselvam nor Edappadi K Palaniswami has been called to form the government," sources at Raj Bhavan, TN, told ANI.

Thus the political stalemate in the state continues even after the Supreme Court convicted All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader Sasikala Natarajan in the disproportionate assets case.

On Wednesday, members from both the AIADMK camps--headed by Panneerselvam and K Palaniswami respectively--met the governor. AIADMK chief Sasikala's loyalist Palaniswami, who has been recently elected as the legislature party leader, met the governor first. Palaniswami insisted that he has support of 124 MLAs. Thereafter, caretaker chief minister Panneerselvam met the governor at Raj Bhavan.

"If given a chance, I will prove majority on the floor of the house," he said. During his meeting with the governor, Panneerselvam alleged that the 124 MLAs are still held captive in a resort located in the outskirts of Chennai.

A senior AIADMK leader and member of Panneerselvam camp told IANS on Thursday that the governor may not invite Palaniswami to form the government in the state till everything seems to be clear.

"There is no patch up moves between the two groups -- one led by Panneerselvam and the other led by AIADMK interim general secretary Sasikala, who is now in a Bengaluru jail. We expect around 30 legislators to our sides from the rival camp," the Panneerselvam camp member told IANS preferring anonymity.
