Tamil Nadu CM Stalin Departs for Four-Day Break in Kodaikanal Post-Elections

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin left for a four-day break in Kodaikanal on April 25, shortly after the state Assembly elections concluded on April 23. Accompanied by his wife and family, Stalin traveled by chartered flight to Madurai and then by road. This follows his intensive month-long campaign for DMK and alliance candidates. His Deputy Chief Minister son, Udhayanidhi, had already departed for a short trip to Dubai. Stalin is scheduled to return to Chennai on April 29, ahead of vote counting on May 4.
