The Governor has given Palaniswami a 15-day grace period to prove his majority, after which he will have to go for a floor test in the Assembly. Palaniswami is a loyalist of AIADMK General Secretary Sasikala, who was bidding to become Chief Minister before her conviction in a corruption case ruled her out of the race.
She surrendered at a Bengaluru jail on Wednesday to serve a four-year sentence. Soon after her conviction, Sasikala expelled her rival and caretaker Chief Minister O Panneerselvam from the party.
