"DMK's victory is assured:" TN Minister PK Sekar Babu
Chennai, April 3
Tamil Nadu Minister and DMK Chennai East District Secretary P.K. Sekar Babu on Thursday expressed strong confidence in the DMK's victory in the upcoming Assembly elections.
He was speaking at a meeting with functionaries of the Villivakkam Welfare Association, organised to seek support for DMK's Villivakkam constituency candidate Karthik Mohan.
Speaking to ANI, Sekar Babu said the party is certain of its electoral success. "We have strong confidence in the party's victory in the upcoming Assembly elections. DMK's victory is assured, and no political party can prevent it," he said.
He added that the government has taken its welfare schemes directly to the people and has implemented even those initiatives that were not formally announced.
Highlighting the development works in North Chennai, Sekar Babu said several welfare measures and infrastructure improvements have been carried out for the benefit of the region. "The people of North Chennai recognise these efforts and will extend their full support to the DMK," he noted.
Reiterating his confidence, he asserted that the DMK will secure a decisive victory in Tamil Nadu.
The meeting was attended by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin's son-in-law Sabarisan and his daughter Senthamarai, along with party members and local representatives.
Tamil Nadu will hold elections in a single phase on April 23, with counting scheduled for May 4. The last date for filing nominations is April 6. Scrutiny will take place on April 7, and the final date for withdrawal of candidatures is April 9.
The main electoral contest is expected between the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA), which includes Congress, DMDK, and other parties. Looking to unseat the ruling alliance are the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) with BJP and Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) as allies.

As a resident of Villivakkam, I have seen the improvements in basic infrastructure. The roads are better and water supply is more regular. This kind of work deserves support. 👍
It's interesting that the CM's family was present. Feels like a show of strength. But elections should be about policies, not personalities. Hope people vote wisely.
Welfare schemes reaching people is the biggest achievement any government can have. If DMK has done that, they have a strong case. But "assured victory" sounds a bit overconfident.
The development in North Chennai was long overdue. If they have genuinely worked for that region, which was neglected for years, they will get my vote. Actions speak louder than words.
Following Tamil Nadu politics from outside India. The DMK seems to have a strong grassroots connect. But the AIADMK-BJP alliance will be a formidable opponent. This will be a close fight.
