To a query on Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s remark about an imminent change in the Tamil Nadu Cabinet, Ms. Soundararajan said, “We don’t know who will be elevated and who will be disappointed. The DMK is waiting for an auspicious day to crown Mr. Udhayanidhi (Minister and Mr. Stalin’s son).”
“Ever since the DMK came to power, police encounter deaths have increased. There have been 17 such incidents since 2021.
