"I thank you for your greetings and good wishes on my being sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu," he told the Prime Minister in a letter.


"I look forward for your kind co-operation and support for the development of Tamil Nadu as envisioned by our revered Leader Puratchi Thalaivi Amma (Jayalalithaa)," Palaniswami added.


 


The Prime Minister had yesterday called Palaniswami, a VK Sasikala loyalist, for congratulating hours after he was sworn-in as the Chief Minister, ending 10-day political uncertainty in Tamil Nadu which had begun with caretaker CM O Panneerselvam's revolt against the AIADMK general secretary.
