May 13, 2015 16:22

Tamil Nadu chief minister O Panneerselvam and 19 ministers are in a meeting with J Jayalalithaa at her Poes Garden residence. This is the first formal meeting between AIADMK leader Jayalalithaa and her MLAs.

On Monday, immediately after her acquittal in the DA case, Paneer and his ministers turned up at Jayalalithaa's home, even as celebrations were outside her home.

Jaya waited for two days since the court order since Ashtrami (Tuesday) and Navami (Wednesday) were inauspicious. Panneer is expected to step down as the chief minister in the next few days, paving the way for Jaya to take over .

Jaya need not be a sitting MLA to become CM but will have to win a bypoll within six months in order to stay in the post.
