Chennai, Feb 11 (IBNS): AIADMK chief and chief minister-ship aspirant Sasikala has urged Tamil Nadu governor C Vidyasagar Rao to make haste for the sake of the state, according to media reports on Saturday.

Meanwhile, state minister K Pandiarajan, known to be a Sasikala supporter has now joined acting Chief Minister O Panneerselvam's camp, media reported.

He tweeted on Saturday, " Will surely listen to the collective voice of my voters & decide in a way to uphold the dignity of Amma's memory & unity of AIADMK !"

The minister said he wants to join Panneerselvam's fight to save the party, reported NDTV.

Two AIADMK MPs have also met acting chief minister and extended their support, media reported.

Sasikala staked her claim to form the government two days ago but Governor Rao has refrained from saying anything on the matte, media reported.

The Supreme Court's verdict on the corruption case against Sasikala and others is expected next week.
