Stalin evolving with inclusive politics in Tamil Nadu By IANS | 0 Views Allocate 20K Remdesivir vials per day: TN CM. Image Source: IANS News Chennai, May 23 : When Muthuvel Karunanidhi Stalin assumed power after taking oath of office on May 7, there was a general feeling that cult politics is on the way back to Tamil Nadu and that the new Chief Minister will practice what was known to him since the days of his late father M. Karunanidhi, his bete-noire and former Chief minister of the state, late MGR and the late Chief minister J. Jayalalithaa. Politics practiced in those days was politics of hostility and politics of showing off power with Jayalalithaa becoming a classic example of creating an aura of working behind the curtains with even party colleagues and fellow ministers not being able to communicate with the Chief minister. Jaya even made it a practice that even senior ministers prostrated before her in open stages where mammoth public gatherings were held. The political fights, slugfests and the oneupmanship were too much to be tolerated in the political sphere of the state.
