However, he may be asked to prove majority on the floor of the house in a week, thereby ruling out the possibility of a composite floor test. 
 
According to a Raj Bhavan source, after meeting Palaniswami and caretaker chief minister <a href="http://businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=O+Panneerselvam&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">O Panneerselvam</a>, the governor accepted the claim of Palaniswami on the basis of number. 
 
"Palaniswami submitted a list of 124 legislators, while Panneerselvam claimed that he has the support of eight legislators. The governor now has no option but to invite Palaniswami to form the government," the source told TOI. 
 
The source also said that the governor examined all aspects, including reports that a section of legislators have been kidnapped and lodged in a resort, before concluding that Palaniswami has the support of the requisite number of legislators.

She has been disqualified to contest elections for 10 years. Sasikala had served close to six months in jail earlier. 
 "Traitors have insulted Amma," the <keyword id="41902" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="AIADMK">AIADMK</keyword> tweeted soon after the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Supreme+Court&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Supreme Court</a>'s verdict which came after a week-long bitter battle between Sasikala and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=O+Panneerselvam&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">O Panneerselvam</a> over CM's chair.

The meeting is set to begin at 11.30 am when a resolution was expected to be adopted condoling the demise of the four-time chief minister Jayalalithaa on 
 "<keyword id="653890" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tamil-Nadu-cabinet">Tamil Nadu Cabinet</keyword> meeting tomorrow at 11.30 am. Honourable Chief Minister O <keyword id="291784" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Panneerselvam">Panneerselvam</keyword> to chair the meet," AIADMK said in a tweet today. 
 
Jayalalithaa, 68, died after suffering a cardiac arrest at the Apollo Hospitals while undergoing treatment for ailments since Sept 22. 
 
The cabinet meeting comes against the backdrop of the allegation of main opposition DMK in the past more than two months that the government was "non-functional" 
 
PMK had on Dec 7 said that the government administration which was in a "limbo" in recent past should "start functioning now" with Panneerselvam at the helm.

After Jayalalithaa's demise, newly appointed Tamil Nadu CM to chair cabinet meeting tomorrow

<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=sasikala&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">VK Sasikala</a>, who suddenly emerged as a heir to deceased <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=AIADMK&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">AIADMK</a> supremo <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=J+Jayalalithaa&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">J </a><a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=J+Jayalalithaa&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Jayalalithaa</a>'s legacy, has a verdict against herself and it seems that this might end the political uncertainty in the state with the road now clear for O <keyword id="291784" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Panneerselvam">Panneerselvam</keyword> to become the chief minister. 
 
But it’s not going to be <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Panneerselvam&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Panneerselvam</a> as <keyword id="6358664" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sasikala">Sasikala</keyword> cannot be written off entirely and her sentence would end in just four years. After that she can come back to haunt the party. 
 
There are many reasons why the SC verdict may not be the end of Sasikala: 
 
Sasikala will continue to have friends within the party even when she is in jail and OPS is the CM as she staged a putsch against Panneerselvam to replace him as Jayalalitha's political heir. 
 Rebels will keep rocking <keyword id="41902" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="AIADMK">AIADMK</keyword> as OPS can never have <keyword id="42104" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jayalalithaa">Jayalalithaa</keyword>'s mass appeal and the kind of control she had over the party. Sasikala will use this and can become the rallying point for these rebels. 
 
Once out of the jail in four year, Sasikala will do everything to split the party. 
 
This SC verdict may not be all bad for Sasikala as if Panneerselvam were able to lure majority party MLAs, it would have proved that party had no faith in Sasikala. The masses too would have accepted that but now the message that would go to the masses is-Sasikala has been stopped from heading the state by a court order but not due to lack of support in the party. Therefore, when she is back, she can still have popular support. 
 
Sasikala has once proved to the people that she is Jayalalithaa's legitimate successor. And once these four years are over and she is out of jail, the situation in the state might be very conducive for her power play. OPS cannot have the mass support Jayalalithaa had so the party's base will only erode from now on. All this will help Sasikala project herself as the next mass leader.

Panneerselvam said the AIADMK government in order to attract more children to the government schools had started lower and upper kindergarten classes. The poor people admitted their children to the government schools instead of private ones that charge high fees, he added. According to him, the DMK government is paving the way for the government school students to go to the private institutions and enable the latter to flourish. Such an action is against social justice and it seems the DMK is terming these as <keyword id="13233124" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dravidian-Model" source="Orion">Dravidian Model</keyword>, the AIADMK leader added.

Strongly backing Tamil Nadu's decades old two-language policy, the ruling AIADMK in the state on Monday rejected the Centre's three-language formula proposed in the new <keyword id="361871" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="National-Education-Policy">National Education Policy</keyword> (NEP) 2020 and said there will be no deviation from the existing system. "The three-language formula in the NEP is painful and saddening. The Prime Minister (<keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword>) should reconsider the three-language policy," Palaniswami said. Taking strong exception to the proposal, he said in a statement the state has been following the two-language policy for several decades and that there will be no change in it. His assertion came amidst opposition demand, including from DMK, that the government should reject the three-language formula proposed in NEP and stick to its two-language policy. Incidentally, ahead of today's meeting he convened to discuss the matter with his senior cabinet colleagues, the Opposition bloc led by DMK wrote to the chief minister, asking him to adopt a Cabinet resolution against the new NEP. "Tamil Nadu will never allow the Centre's three- language formula. The state will continue with its dual language policy (of Tamil and English)," Palaniswami said. He discussed the matter with his colleagues--Deputy CM O Panneerselvam, Ministers for higher education and school education, K P Anbalagan and K A Sengottaiyan, respectively and others. The Centre should allow the states to implement their own policy on the subject, he said, adding there will be no change to the two-language formula which the state had adopted decades ago. Teaching up to class 5 in mother tongue or regional language and lowering the stakes of board exams are part of the sweeping reforms in the new NEP unveiled last week by the Centre. However, the proposals have found resistance from the DMK-led opposition in the state, with the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, MK Stalin, dubbing it as an attempt to "impose" Hindi and Sankrit. The anti-Hindi movement of the 1960s taken forward by the DMK had struck an instant chord among the Tamil masses then and is believed to be one of the key reasons for the Dravidian party storming to power in the 1967 elections under the late CN Annadurai, unseating a Congress government in the state for the first time in post-independent India. Palaniswami further said the state has been maintaining a consistent stand and that for about 80 years, the people of Tamil Nadu had been firm on two language policy. Late chief ministers Annadurai, MG Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa were firmly against 'imposition' of Hindi. He also recalled the historic resolution brought in the Tamil Nadu Assembly by late Annadurai on January 23, 1968, which proposed to abolish the three language policy in all schools in the state, removing Hindi from the State syllabus but allowing only Tamil and English. Later, the AIADMK government led M G Ramachandran had in 1986 adopted an Assembly resolution asserting the two language policy. Former chief minister J Jayalalithaa too was firm on opposing Hindi on non-Hindi speaking states and in thwarting such efforts and wanted Tamil to be declared as an official language of the country, he said. Palaniswami pointed out he himself had written to the Prime Minister in June 2019 stressing on two-language policy. Besides, he had reiterated this in his Independence Day address last year and on various occasions during the debates in the state Assembly, he recalled. Meanwhile, the Opposition DMK led alliance in Tamil Nadu--comprising the Congress, MDMK, VCK, CPM, CPI and MMK, collectively wrote a letter to Palaniswami asking him to pass a resolution against the new NEP in the Tamil Nadu Cabinet meeting. Many clauses in the new policy are trying to impose "Hindi" and "Sanskrit" and are "trying to do away with Tamil from the system, and this is against federalism, women rights and social justice. It was also "imposing" vedic culture, besides being mum on reservation, it said. "The NEP should be opposed in the initial stages itself," the letter added. Later, Stalin, in a Facebook post, thanked Palaniswami for the government stand on the matter. The NEP, passed by the Union Cabinet last week, laid emphasis on the mother tongue/local and regional language which will now be the medium of instruction at least till Class 5, but preferably till Class 8 and beyond. Also, Sanskrit will be offered at all levels of school and higher education as an option for students, including in the three-language formula.
