CM MK Stalin's son becomes Deputy CM
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's son Udhayanidhi was made the Deputy Chief Minister following the cabinet reshuffle on Saturday. DMK leader Senthil Balaji, who was recently released on bail, will also be made a minister again on Sunday. K Ponmudi has been removed from Higher Education and the new Minister Chezhian has been given this department, while Rajakannappan has been given the Dairy Development department. For the past several days, there was speculation that Udhayanidhi Stalin's stature would be increased in both the DMK party and the government. On the same lines as DMK chief M Karunanidhi transferred power to his son MK Stalin, now MK Stalin is also increasing the stature of his son Udhayanidhi Stalin.
Udhayanidhi had rejected these things
Tamil Nadu Minister Tha Mo Anbarasan had said on Thursday itself that Chief Minister MK Stalin's son Udhayanidhi Stalin is likely to be announced as the Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu within the next 7 to 10 days. However, on Wednesday, Udhayanidhi Stalin had rejected the speculations of making him the Deputy Chief Minister. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Udhayanidhi had asked, 'Who said this?' He said, “This will be decided by the CM, and you cannot take a decision on this. All ministers are and will remain with the CM. You will have to ask the CM about this. It is completely the CM's right to take a decision on this.” ”
