Amid ongoing power tussle in Tamil Nadu, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has backed AIADMK General Secretary Sasikala Natarajan for the post of Chief Minister as she has the required support of the party legislators.
Speaking to news agency ANI, Swamy said, “Sasikala should be sworn-in as CM; If delayed it’ll be in violation of the Constitution. President must intervene.”

Stalin said, “Tamil Nadu’s Govt administration has collapsed in last 8 months, Governor must immediately come to Chennai to safeguard TN’s interests.”
“Shameful to say that smiling is an objectionable thing. Now what will Sasikala say about the mess people are laughing on now,” Stalin said referring to Sasikala’s cheerful greeting of his supporters after her meet with party MLAs at her Poes Garden residence in Chennai.
