Chennai, Tamil Nadu News Highlights: Udhayanidhi Stalin, the ruling DMK’s youth wing secretary and MLA, was sworn in as the state minister today at 9.30 AM at Durbar Hall, Raj Bhavan, Chennai. According to an official release, Udhayanidhi is designated as the Minister of Youth Welfare and Sports Development in the Tamil Nadu cabinet. Yet, how critics saw the induction was predictable: another chapter that could be titled “sonrise” in the history of the Dravidian party, which for the last five decades has been controlled by his grandfather, the late M Karunanidhi and father M K Stalin. Udhayanidhi Stalin signed the oath of office and oath of secrecy in presence of governor RN Ravi and Chief Minister MK Stalin. On Monday, in an official release, the Raj Bhavan said: “The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu (M K Stalin) has recommended to the Governor of Tamil Nadu (R N Ravi) to induct Udhayanidhi Stalin, Chepauk-Thiruvallikeni Assembly Constituency in the Council of Ministers. The Governor had approved the recommendation.”
Meanwhile, the IMD has predicted light to moderate rainfall over Tamil Nadu today.

As far as Chennai is concerned, the sky condition is likely to be cloudy and the maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to be around 30-31 degree Celcius and 25 degree Celcius respectively.
