Accompanied by several “disgruntled” leaders, including Maithreyan, senior leaders PH Pandian and KP Munnusamy, Panneerselvam said that if the situation demands, he would withdraw his resignation.
“I will prove my support on the floor of the House,” he said, adding that he would meet the Governor when he arrives in the city. So far, he has a mere five MLAs on his side, but his supporters claim that more legislators would vote for him in the Assembly.
Through the day, scores of party leaders and cadres visited OPS’ residence at Greenways Road to extend their support and solidarity.
