Udhayanidhi Stalin becomes deputy CM in cabinet reshuffle; BJP says dynastic politics

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin announced a cabinet reshuffle, appointing his son Udhayanidhi Stalin as Deputy Chief Minister. Udhayanidhi, a first-time MLA, will also handle Planning and Development. Senthil Balaji is re-inducted as a minister, while K Ponmudy and Rajakannappan are reassigned. The swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for Sunday. "This is the Parivarvad which PM Modi speaks about. MK Stalin promoted and made his son Udhayanidhi Stalin the Dy CM. There is no merit except being the CM's son... All of them are only focused on family interests, not the interests of the country. This is why they were rejected as an alliance... The youth of India is watching... On one hand, the PM spoke on the Red Fort and gave a call that 1000 youngsters without any experience or family background in politics should enter politics to serve the country. On the other hand, you have INDI alliance which is only focusing on looting...," BJP National Spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari said.
