VK Sasikala, who staked claim to form a government in Tamil Nadu last evening, was told by Governor C Vidyasagar Rao that the lawmakers' signatures she has submitted to prove support for her within the ruling AIADMK have to be authenticated. Ms Sasikala, a long-time companion of former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, who died in December, opened her meeting with the Governor by stating in English, "I stake claim". The 10 Tamil Nadu ministers who accompanied her spent 30 minutes making a 10-point presentation on the party's decision to choose Ms Sasikala to take over as Chief Minister. A detailed account of that meeting was given to NDTV by one of the ministers.
