**Chennai, India:** Udhayanidhi Stalin, son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, paid respects at the memorials of Periyar, Anna, and Kalaignar, as well as the residence of late professor Anbazhagan, on Wednesday. This move comes amidst speculation that Udhayanidhi is set to take on the role of Deputy Chief Minister in the upcoming cabinet reshuffle.
Udhayanidhi’s visits to these significant locations are seen as a symbolic gesture of respect for the founding figures of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party. His father, M.K. Stalin, is the current leader of the DMK and has been Chief Minister since 2021.
While the official announcement of the cabinet reshuffle and the confirmation of Udhayanidhi’s role are yet to be made, his recent activities have fueled speculation and heightened anticipation in the political circles.
