Chennai: The Leader of Opposition M.K. Stalin on Friday demanded that one of the ministers should take over the responsibility of Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa to take decisions on key issues like the Cauvery dispute.
A Chief Minister-in-charge, deputy Chief Minister or any of the ministers should take over Jayalalithaa’s responsibility, he said speaking to mediapersons at Thanjavur where he led a fast against the centre on the Cauvery issue.
Answering a question over the possibility of appointment of a deputy Chief Minister, he said “Several kinds of reports are coming. I don’t want to politicise them”.
Initially, it was said the ailment of the Chief Minister is ordinary. But, yesterday’s medical bulletin shows that she is undergoing major treatment and should stay in hospital for a long time. “I wish that Chief Minister should recover. The sentiments of our leader Karunanidhi is also the same”.
