The number of ministers in the Stalin cabinet now stands at 35.
The MLA from Chepauk-Thiruvallikeni Assembly Constituency in Tamil Nadu made his electoral debut in 2021 assembly election in the state. He has also dabbled in films and has acted in several films.
Udhayanidhi’s father Stalin became MLA in 1989 and he was inducted by his father M Karunanidhi in the cabinet in 2006.
Opposition parties in the state primarily the AIADMK and the BJP has criticised the dynastic politics of Udhayanidhi’s elevation as a cabinet minister.
