The absence of a single person from the delta districts in the DMK’s cabinet list has disappointed the people of region which gave a lot of seats to the DMK in the recently concluded Assembly Elections.
Along with DMK leader MK Stalin taking over as Chief Minister, 33 other Ministers took oath of office today. The DMK, which captured 15 of the total 18 constituencies in the delta districts, has given no ministerial berths to any of its MLAs elected from this region. All of the party’s senior executives in the delta districts seem to be dissatisfied with not even a single representation in the Cabinet. At the same time, those close to Stalin’s family have been accommodated in the cabinet despite their less age and experience.
The DMK’s seeming boycott of the delta has not gone down well with the party leaders and cadres of the region.
