BJP reacted after Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin's son Udhayanidhi was appointed as the state's Deputy Chief Minister. BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said, "Udhayanidhi Stalin will become Deputy CM, that means one more ‘son’ will rise in Tamil Nadu politics." He added, "There are only two pillars of I.N.D.I.A [bloc], one is family and the other is corruption."
