Stalin is currently at the forefront of the anti-BJP forces in the country. His arrival at the party congress enthused delegates. Stalin is the chief guest at the seminar on the 'Centre-State relationship’, which is scheduled for Saturday evening. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will inaugurate the seminar at 5 pm today.
