DMK must retain power for Tamil Nadu’s growth, BJP bought AIADMK: MK Stalin

Published on April 1, 2026

Chief Minister M.K. Stalin officially kicked off his election campaign in Tiruvarur, asserting the necessity for the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party to retain power to ensure the growth and protection of Tamil Nadu. During the event, Stalin framed the upcoming election as a pivotal battle between the interests of Tamil Nadu and those of Delhi.

Stalin accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ally, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), of conspiring to impede the progress of the state. He contended that the BJP had effectively ‘bought’ the AIADMK to serve its own political agenda, which he claims threatens the well-being and development of Tamil Nadu.

Emphasizing the DMK’s commitment to the state’s growth, Stalin vowed to fulfill the promises outlined in the party’s manifesto if reelected. He underscored the significance of local governance, asserting that only the DMK could safeguard the interests of the people against what he described as the overreach of central authorities.

Stalin’s remarks resonated with local party supporters, who expressed their enthusiasm for the DMK’s potential return to power. The Chief Minister’s campaign strategy focuses on mobilizing grassroots support achievements of his administration, painting a stark contrast between the DMK’s developmental policies and the alleged failures of the BJP-AIADMK alliance.

As the campaign intensifies, Stalin is expected to travel across the state, engaging with constituents to reinforce his message of progress, unity, and regional autonomy, while countering the narratives set forth . With the elections approaching, the political landscape in Tamil Nadu remains charged, setting the stage for what promises to be a competitive and consequential electoral battle.
