Udhayanidhi Stalin was elevated as the Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Saturday. Earlier, Stalin was serving as the Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development. He will also take on the portfolio of planning and development in addition to his existing responsibilities.
His elevation as the deputy CM of Tamil Nadu was celebrated enthusiastically by DMK supporters in Thoothkudi North District.
Following this, Udhayanidhi will assume the charge this evening and this announcement has caused happiness among the DMK members.
Meanwhile, DMK leader V Senthil Balaji was sworn in as minister in the Chief Minister MK Stalin-led Tamil Nadu government on Sunday, along with three other MLAs, as part of the party’s major reshuffle. Along with Balaji, DMK MLAs, Govi Chezhiaan, R Rajendran and SM Nasar were also sworn in.

Govi Chezihaan has been inducted as Minister for Higher Education, R Rajendran as Minister for Tourism and SM Nasar as Minister for Minorities Welfare and Non-Resident Tamils Welfare.

“Last night, the Chief Minister gave me an additional charge, announcing me as the Deputy Chief Minister. Four new ministers are taking oath today and I wish them all the best. I express my gratitude to the Chief Minister. This is not a position but an additional responsibility; my thanks to all who have expressed their wishes,” he said. (ANI)
