Chennai: Amid demands from party leaders including senior Ministers for Udhayanidhi Stalin to be given a Cabinet berth, the DMK youth wing chief and Chepauk-Triplicane MLA has said he did not want to become a Minister or Deputy Chief Minister.
Speaking at the party’s new membership inaugural event in Coimbatore, he said, ‘I would rather act as a bridge between the cadre and the Chief Minister (his father M K Stalin).’
Udhayanidhi, who is also an actor and film producer said he always wanted to be by the side of Stalin.
‘I was given a task of enrolling 24 lakh members in the party when I took over as the youth wing secretary and now the target is 2.50 crore,’ he said.
Pointing out that during the last Assembly elections the party was expecting to win at least five seats in Coimbatore but that did not happen, he said the partymen should work hard to win majority of the seats in the coming civic elections.
