Tamil Nadu Election Result | Tamil Nadu polls 2026: MK Stalin’s Fight To Retain Power
From a childhood shaped by political ideology… to prison during one of India’s darkest periods… to leading Tamil Nadu as Chief Minister—this is the story of Muthuvel Karunanidhi Stalin. Born on March 1, 1953, Stalin is the third son of veteran Dravidian leader M Karunanidhi and Dayalu Ammal.

Named after Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, who had passed away just days before his birth, Stalin's name carried deep political symbolism.
