DMK Chief MK Stalin will be functioning in Tamil Nadu with the support of a 33-member cabinet. The party has disclosed names of members. Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister-designate MK Stalin oath-taking will be held at 9 am on Friday. 

The small ceremony of swearing-in will be held at the Raj Bhavan, Governor’s residence in the city. The list of ministers released by the party sadly does not feature Chepauk MLA and Stalin’s son Udhayanidhi. The reason estimated is the continuous receiving of end of criticism regarding nepotism. Whereas the list includes only two women - Geetha Jeevan and Kayalvizhi Selvaraj. The list of ministers largely consists of senior DMK leaders, successors of veteran leaders and includes only few members of the younger generation. Stalin holds the all-important Chief Minister post that encompasses Public, General administration, IAS, IPS, Home etc. He will be assisted by Duraimurugan, Water resources Minister, K.N. Nehru, Municipal administration minister, K. Ponmudi Higher Education Minister, Ev.V. Velu, Public Works Minister, Ma. Subramanian, Minister for Medical and Family welfare and Palanivel thiagarajan, Minister for Finance and Human Resources among others.

In the state, this is the sixth time that a DMK government will be sworn in to govern Tamil Nadu. DMK founder CN Annadurai was the first leader from the party to be elected as the Chief Minister in 1967. MK Stalin will be taking over his father’s legacy and will be serving as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for the first time, in his nearly 50-year political career.
