CM Stalin to leave for US on August 22
In yet another bid to woo foreign investors to the State, Chief Minister M K Stalin will be visiting the USA in the last week of August when several meetings are said to have been arranged for him with industrialists and business associations.
Since Stalin is likely to leave Chennai on August 22 by a scheduled flight and return three weeks later, the news has triggered speculations on the State Minister who would be holding charge of the State in the long absence of the Chief Minister.
Not only would some new Ministers inducted into the Cabinet and some dropped, there could be change of portfolios.
With the State government making sweeping changes in the top bureaucracy and police department recently, there was talk of changes happening in the Ministry, too.
Now it is believed that the changes could be brought about on the eve of the Chief Minister’s trip abroad.
