Seeman suggests Deputy CM role for Duraimurugan

The Hindu  

The DMK should appoint veteran party leader Duraimurugan as the Deputy Chief Minister, instead of considering Udhayanidhi Stalin, son of Chief Minister M.K. He told presspersons after a meeting with district party officials in Tiruchi that such a position would be a befitting recognition of Mr. Duraimurugan’s extensive experience and loyalty to the party and Tamil Nadu politics. Mr. Seeman voiced dissatisfaction with the resolutions from the recent Muthamizh Murugan conference held in Palani and said the event had failed to uphold Tamil identity. Responding to a reporter’s query about recent remarks by BJP State president K. Annamalai regarding AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami, Mr. Seeman urged political leaders to avoid personal attacks and uncivil discourse.
