Chennai, Feb 18 (IBNS) All eyes are on the Tamil Nadu Assembly on Saturday as Sasikala loyalist chief minister E Palaniswamy is seeking a trust vote on the floor of the House this morning even as one more legislator of the ruling AIADMK has declared to vote against him.

Palaniswami needs to prove the support of at least 117 legislators in the 234-member state assembly.

Media reports said if six lawmakers choose to cross vote, he would lose. 

Members of the rival faction, led by O Paneerselvam, had met Speaker P Dhanapal on Friday.

The Paneerselvam group  had ten MLAs on their side.

Sasikala-loyalist Palaniswamy, who took oath as Chief Minister along with 30 other members of his ministerial council, was asked by, Governor C Vidyasagar Rao to prove his majority through a confidence vote on the floor of the House.
