Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has appointed his son, Udhayanidhi Stalin, as the state's Deputy Chief Minister during a cabinet reshuffle. Udhayanidhi, who also retains roles in youth welfare and sports, will oversee Planning and Development. The reshuffle includes the return of V. Senthil Balaji, recently granted bail, while three ministers were removed. The changes aim to bolster the DMK's leadership ahead of the 2026 elections, though they have drawn mixed reactions.
