He will also visit the newly constructed DMK's office in Delhi. According to sources, Udhayanidhi will play out as a torchbearer for Tamil Nadu government's measures to augment sports in the state. Not restricting himself only to urge the centre's assistance for the state's sports development, Udhayanidhi Stalin would also press the NEET issue directly to the central government.
