Referring to leaders including MDMK chief Vaiko, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president Su Thirunavukkarasar, Union Minister Pon Radhakrishnan, and CPI(M) State Secretary G Ramakrishnan not favouring an idea of an interim Chief Minister, the AIADMK said only Stalin had sought such an arrangement.
AIADMK mouthpiece Dr Namadhu MGR today asked if the DMK-led government had "appointed an interim Chief Minister when Karunanidhi was hospitalised for a spine surgery in 2009."
On October 9, Stalin had demanded either a "Chief Minister incharge or a new Chief Minister" to streamline governance.
After Jayalalithaa's portfolios were allotted to Finance Minister O Panneerselvam yesterday, he had welcomed it.
Meanwhile, prayers continued to be offered at places of worship across Tamil Nadu, including 'milk pot processions' for the speedy recovery of Jayalalithaa.
