Chief Minister Joseph Vijay's pointed "Where is your father?" remark in the Tamil Nadu Assembly has triggered fresh political churn, with senior leaders in the DMK openly hinting at a possible return of party chief and former Chief Minister MK Stalin to the House through an expected round of by-elections.
The comments assume significance as Stalin, who led the DMK in the 2026 Assembly elections, suffered a shock defeat in his Kolathur constituency to the TVK. Since then, the former Chief Minister has remained outside the Assembly, while his son Udhayanidhi Stalin serves as Leader of the Opposition.
