Uncertainty shrouds Sasikala's swearing-in

Chennai/Mumbai: The prospects of AIADMK general secretary V K Sasikala's immediate swearing-in as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister appeared remote on Monday with Governor C Vidyasagar Rao headed for Mumbai from New Delhi and not to Chennai.

Amid reports that Rao was seeking legal advice before administering the oath of office to Sasikala, Maharashtra Raj Bhavan sources said he was arriving in Mumbai on Monday night.

There was, however, no official word on what the Governor was exactly planning to do after the Supreme Court indicated it could deliver a judgement soon in a disproportionate assets case against Sasikala.

A conviction after being sworn in would result in Sasikala having to step down as chief minister. A PIL was also filed in the Supreme Court seeking to restrain Sasikala from being sworn in chief minister as in the event of her having to resign, in case she was convicted in the DA case, could lead to law and order problem in the state.
