Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) Youth Wing Secretary, Chepauk MLA and the son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin Udhayanidhi Stalin’s induction into the Tamil Nadu cabinet as a minister is likely to be held on Wednesday, December 14.
According to sources, the ‘rising son’ Udhayanidhi is expected to get two important portfolios of Youth Welfare, and Sports Development as well as Special Initiatives Implementation.
The Special Initiatives Implementation portfolio has been under the purview of the Chief Minister so far while Siva Meyyanathan is the present Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development.
Incidentally, Udhayanidhi has been holding the post of youth secretary in the DMK since 2019, a post that the current Chief Minister and his dad had held from 1982 to 2017. Before Udhayanidhi won Tamil Nadu Assembly elections in 2021, he had been one of the star campaigners for candidates from his party.
A multifacted personality, Udhayanidhi is an actor, producer and film distributor dominating the Tamil cine industry.
