Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Pannerselvam, who assumed the top office after the passing away of incumbent and ruling AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa days ago, will chair the first meeting of his cabinet here tomorrow at the state secretariat.
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 December 5, party sources said.
"Tamil Nadu Cabinet meeting tomorrow at 11.30 am. Honourable Chief Minister O Panneerselvam 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.
