Muthuvel Karunanidhi Azhagiri, the sole member of the troubled DMK with a cabinet rank, has been appointed to the Council of Ministers under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers. He has been wildly criticized for his lowest attendance record at union cabinet meetings. He attended eight out 48 cabinet meetings in fiscal 2010-11. The opposition has demanded his removal in multiple occasions in the wake of police booking cases against him and many other controversies.
