A meeting of MLAs of the AIADMK held at Apollo Hospital in Chennai endorsed the name of O Panneerselvam as the man who will take reins of the government, if the requirement arises.
Sources told The News Minute that MLAs were made to sign a paper, pledging their support to O Panneerselvam.
Ever since Apollo Hospital announced that Jayalalithaa had suffered a cardiac arrest, the top leadership of the AIADMK have been in a huddle over the future course of the party.
Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa is very critical and is admitted in Apollo Hospital in Chennai. Her situation worsened on Sunday when she suffered a cardiac arrest.
