Panneerselvam to attend office after a week's gap

Panneerselvam resigned on February 5 paving the way for Sasikala to become the Chief Minister.

Chennai, Feb 13: Tamil Nadu's acting Chief Minister O. Panneeerselvam will be attending office on Monday after a week's gap, said officials.

On Sunday, he told the media that he would be going to the state secretariat on Monday. School Education Minister K. Pandiarajan will also be attending office, the officials said.

Panneeerselvam did not attend office ever since he revolted against AIADMK General Secretary V.K. Sasikala on February 7, alleging that his resignation was a forced one.

He resigned on February 5 paving the way for Sasikala to become the Chief Minister. However, since then both Panneerselvam and Sasikala have been fighting it out to prove their strength for the CM's chair.
