Udhayanidhi likely to be named Tamil Nadu deputy Chief Minister

Chennai, 18/7: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin is believed to be toying with the idea of elevating his son and Sports Minister Udhayanidhi as his deputy in the government along with a minor reshuffle of portfolios among his Cabinet colleagues.

The impending elevation of Udhayanidhi, who currently holds Youth Affairs and Sports Development and Special Programme Implementation portfolios, is likely to be a smooth affair as not even a whimper of protest was heard when he was inducted into the cabinet.
