Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president MK Stalin called on Vice-President CP Radhakrishnan at Madurai. In a post on Thursday, Stalin praised the Vice-President, saying his wisdom and sense of duty will continue to bring honour to Tamil Nadu and India.
Stalin was accompanied by his half-sister Kanimozhi MP and DMK Deputy General Secretary at the meeting at the Circuit House in the temple city on Wednesday.
Describing the Vice-President as a proud son of the soil, Stalin, in a post on ‘X’ said “A proud son of Tamil Nadu who has risen to one of the highest offices of our Republic, his wisdom and sense of duty will continue to bring honour to Tamil Nadu and India.”
The DMK, which is part of the opposition INDIA Bloc, has opposed his candidature and supported retired Supreme Court judge Sudershan Reddy.
Earlier, Radhakrishnan who arrived Madurai on Wednesday evening en-route to Pasumpon for the guru pooja of Thevar community icon U Muthuramalingam, had darshan at the famed Meenakshi-Sundareswarar temple. He was accorded full temple honours by the priests and officials.
Concluding his three-day visit to his home state, the Vice-President who attended events at Coimbatore, Tirupur and Chennai besides Pasumpon, had left for New Delhi.
