Pic courtsey: ANI Chennai: Support grew on Sunday for Tamil Nadu's caretaker Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, locked in a bruising feud with AIADMK supremo VK Sasikala for power, with five more MPs crossing over to his camp.
Four Lok Sabha MPs--Jaisingh Thiyagaraj Natterjee (Tuticorin), Senguttuvan (Vellore), RP Marutharaja (Perambalur) and S Rajendran (Villupuram) met Panneerselvam at his Greenways residence this morning and pledged support to him, taking the number of MPs backing him in the fight to 10.
Rajya Sabha MP R Lakshmanan also switched over to the Panneerselvam camp, provoking an embattled Sasikala to sack him as the party's Villupuram (North) district chief.

Shedding crocodile tears,passing new remarks every day is not going to help. Will prove everything in assembly: Panneerselvam on Sasikala
Only Amma stood by me all these years.Telling this for the 1st time,I was subjected to harassment & torture all these years: Panneerselvam
I have a question. Yesterday #VKSasikala went to Kuvathur (where MLAs are staying at Golden Bay resort). Why did she go?: Panneerselvam
Many party cadres not even in Chennai, are voicing their opinion against Sasikala assuming charge as TN CM: Panneerselvam
Even today many party MLAs are contacting me and telling, for each MLA there are four 'gundas' sitting: Panneerselvam
That day I took a pledge, that I will safeguard the organisation she has left behind, till my last breath: Sasikala
After becoming Gen secy,I went to Amma's memorial but couldn't get out of there,magnetic power didn't let me go away: Sasikala breaks down
We must pledge for our victory, after which we will visit Amma's memorial and dedicate it to her: Sasikala
I will achieve everything if you all stand firmly behind me, I wont move away, I will be firm as I have been with 'Amma': Sasikala
Portrait of Amma has to be installed in state assembly to show gratitude. Some people with us don't want it to happen: Sasikala
We will form the Govt, will then visit Amma's memorial & take a photograph, will show it to the world then. This is our pledge: Sasikala
Panneerselvam who was a minister for so long, is today all out to destroy. It is same as hitting your eye with your own finger: Sasikala
You all are aware as to what extent our opponents have gone against us, we must stay together and foil their evil attempts: VK Sasikala
We are working on it: Sasikala on being asked if she would protest if not invited to form government.
Party workers, and forces now opposing us will not succeed in their attempts, won't let it happen: Sasikala at Golden Bay resort.
You can see truth that non of our MLAs have been forcibly kept here, we are living here as a family: Sasikala.
