Promising to parade all the MLAs who support her, Sasikala further asked the governor to take swift action regarding the political turmoil in the state.
“I believe your Excellency will act immediately to save the sovereignty of the Constitution, democracy and the interest of the state,” the letter added.
The swearing-in ceremony of Sasikala has been put on hold as interim chief minister O. Panneerselvam has staged a rebellion against the former.
In a major turn of events, Sasikala earlier staked her claim to form government.
“Chinnamma stakes claim to form Government,” AIADMK tweeted.
