This comes amid calls from DMK party cadres and leaders for Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin's son to be elevated as Deputy Chief Minister. A senior party leader suggested that such a move would be a "huge advantage" for the party in the upcoming 2026 assembly elections.

DMK Organising Secretary R S Bharathi, however, made it clear that the final decision rests with party president and CM Stalin. Bharathi's comments follow reports of Udhayanidhi's potential elevation ahead of Stalin's proposed US visit next month.

Udhayanidhi, appointed Minister of Youth Welfare and Sports Development in December 2022, played a crucial role in the 2021 Assembly election and the 2024 Lok Sabha campaign.
