'Sanatana Dharma' Eradicator Udhayanidhi Stalin Granted Deputy CM Post - Another 'Son Rise' in TN
Since January, there have been rumors about Udhayanidhi's ascension; nevertheless, there have been several setbacks, including the BJP's attack on him following his comments about "Sanathana Dharma," which prompted even leaders of the india bloc to distance themselves from him. The parliament elections caused a delay in his promotion once more, and the 66-person Kallakurichi hooch catastrophe ensued. Top party insiders, however, said that even though Udhayanidhi was scheduled to be elevated in August, it was decided to hold off until Senthil Balaji—who had been detained by the Enforcement Directorate—was freed on bond.
Udhayanidhi has always declared that the chief minister makes the final choice and that he would follow it. But inside the governing DMK, his rise was highly expected, with senior figures hoping for a new 'Thalapathy' to propel the party and government forward.
