Ma Subramanian given charge of fighting COVID-19 pandemic
DMK president M.K. Stalin, who will be sworn in Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Friday, will head a 34-member Cabinet that includes veterans and 15 new faces and just two women. The Cabinet size is four more than that of the outgoing Edappadi K. Palaniswami Ministry.
While old warhorse and party general secretary Duraimurugan will be the number two in the Cabinet, handling the newly established Department of Water Resources, the focus in the midst of the raging second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is on former Chennai Mayor Ma Subramanian, who has been appointed Minister for Medical and Family Welfare, including the Health portfolio. In the pecking order of the Cabinet, though, he is at number 22.
