Saravanan also said that he had to disguise himself and change his get up to escape from the beach resort.

His escape comes on a day when Sasikala decided to visit the beach resort again for the third day, and subsequently spend the night there.

 

With this the number of legislators supporting Panneerselvam has gone up to seven.

Earlier addressing the legislators at the resort, Sasikala said all will go out happily on Tuesday.
