Tamil Nadu : Sasikala loyalist Palaniswami to form Government, swearing-in today
Rao invited the Sasikala loyalist to form the Government after meeting him along with 4 MLAs at the Raj Bhavan.
The swearing-in ceremony will be held at 4 30 pm on Thursday.
A vote of confidence to prove Palaniswamy's majority will take place in 15 days.
Around 124 MLAs, led by Palaniswamy are stated to be the members of the camp belonging to VK Sasikala, whose run for the post of Chief Minister ended abruptly after the Supreme Court sentenced her to jail in connection with a corruption case.
Palaniswamy had on Wednesday met Rao and staked claim to form the Government.
Acting Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam had also met Rao, the Governor, but he does not have numbers on his side.
According to media reports, the Governor was of the view that the whole world knew that Palaniswamy had the numbers on his side.
