Talks within the party had been going on for at least three months. Seniors in the DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) had initially been annoyed that the first-time MLA and son of Chief Minister MK Stalin - Udhayanidhi Stalin - had been given a ministerial berth just a few months after winning the safe Chepauk seat in 2021.
But egos were massaged and tempers calmed by Mr Stalin's men in backroom talks with miffed seniors. Once everyone was onboard, Mr Stalin announced a cabinet reshuffle, elevating his son Udhayanidhi as the Deputy Chief Minister.
