Vijay's dig at Stalin revives talk of former CM Stalin's Assembly return
Chennai,UPDATED: Jun 25, 2026 13:03 IST
Chief Minister Joseph Vijay’s “Where is your father?” remark to Leader of Opposition Udhaynidhi Stalin in the Tamil Nadu Assembly has set off fresh political row, with senior DMK leaders indicating that party chief and former Chief Minister MK Stalin could return to the House through the expected round of by-elections.
The remarks have gained traction because Stalin, who led the DMK in the 2026 Assembly elections, suffered an upset defeat to the TVK in Kolathur and has remained outside the Assembly since then, while his son Udhayanidhi Stalin is serving as Leader of the Opposition.
Responding to Vijay's taunt, MK Stalin said he remained present in the hearts of the people despite not being in the legislature. “I am in the people's hearts. I may not be in the Assembly, but I am there wherever people look for me,” he said.
