Udhayanidhi Stalin Appointed Tamil Nadu Deputy CM in Major Cabinet Reshuffle
In a major political development, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has reshuffled his Cabinet, elevating his son, Udhayanidhi Stalin, to the position of Deputy Chief Minister. The revamp, which was approved by Governor RN Ravi on Saturday, also marks the return of V Senthil Balaji to the council of ministers. However, three existing ministers have been dropped from the state Cabinet as part of the reorganization.
Udhayanidhi Stalin Appointed Deputy CM
Governor RN Ravi, in an official release from Raj Bhavan, confirmed Udhayanidhi Stalin’s appointment as the Deputy Chief Minister. Alongside this new role, Udhayanidhi will also take charge as the Planning and Development Minister, in addition to his current portfolios. The swearing-in ceremony for the newly-appointed Deputy CM and other Cabinet members is scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
Senthil Balaji Re-Inducted After Supreme Court Bail
In another key development, V Senthil Balaji has been re-inducted into the Tamil Nadu Cabinet, just two days after his release from the Puzhal Central Prison in Chennai. The DMK leader was granted bail by the Supreme Court in connection with a money laundering case related to the cash-for-jobs scam. His return is expected to strengthen the party’s position amid ongoing legal battles.
The Cabinet reshuffle signifies a strategic move by Chief Minister MK Stalin, bringing new faces into the state’s administration while reinforcing his party’s influence in Tamil Nadu politics.
