Chicago: The video of Tamil Nadu chief minister and DMK head MK Stalin cycling during his recent trip to the US is going viral on social media. Sharing the video on his X account on Wednesday morning, he wrote, “Evening’s calm sets the stage for new dreams.” With this video, Stalin silenced his critics, who have been raising questions about his health condition. His critics claim that the 71-year-old veteran would soon retire from active politics, handing over the reins of the party and the government to his son, Udayanidhi Stalin. Meanwhile, there had been rumours that Stalin was in the US as his health had been bothering him. However, Stalin dismissed all these allegations and rumours with just a video of him enjoying the streets of Chicago on a bicycle.
