"Regardless of how many parties join hands against us, no one can succeed - MK Stalin"

Pudukkottai, April 11

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin expressed strong confidence that the ruling alliance would secure a sweeping victory in the Assembly elections, citing the overwhelming public response witnessed during campaign events.

The DMK-led alliance had earlier predicted victory in over 200 constituencies. However, Stalin, who is DMK candidate from Kolathur constituency, said the current level of public support and crowd turnout now indicates a possible win in all 234 constituencies.

He asserted that no Opposition force would be able to defeat them and said the alliance remains unconcerned about its rivals.

"The current level of public support and crowd turnout now indicates a possible win in all 234 constituencies. Our Secular Progressive Alliance will win in Tamil Nadu. Regardless of how many parties join hands against us, no one can succeed," Stalin said.

Responding to a question on his repeated "Tamil Nadu vs Delhi" remark, Stalin alleged that All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam has been "mortgaged to Delhi" and has become subservient to it.

"All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) has been mortgaged to Delhi and has become subservient to it. So the fight is between Tamil Nadu and Delhi. it is a matter of concern and disappointment that a Dravidian party has reached such a state," the DMK Chief said.

On incidents involving youngsters allegedly engaging in reckless behaviour by following film actors, including Vijay, Stalin said such accidents are being witnessed by people across the state. "People are watching this, and they will give a befitting reply," he added.

Tamil Nadu Assembly elections will go to the polls in a single phase on April 23, with counting scheduled for May 4.

The main contest is expected between the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA), which includes the Indian National Congress, DMDK and VCK, and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by AIADMK with BJP and PMK as allies. Actor-turned-politician Vijay is also set to make his electoral debut with TVK, which could turn the contest into a three-way fight.

Claiming all 234 seats is a bit overconfident, no? Even MGR or Amma never made such claims. A strong opposition is healthy for democracy. Hope voters make an informed choice based on work, not just rhetoric.

The fight for Tamil Nadu's autonomy is a legacy issue. Stalin is right to call out AIADMK's dependence on Delhi. We need a government that answers to Chennai, not one that takes orders from the Centre. 🚩

Interesting to watch from outside. The regional pride vs national alliance dynamic is strong. But what about local issues like water, jobs, and infrastructure? That's what should decide the election.

Thalaivar is speaking with the voice of the people! The crowd at his rallies is unbelievable. AIADMK has lost its Dravidian soul by aligning so closely with BJP. This election is about safeguarding our identity.

Respectfully, the comment about youngsters following film stars was a good point. We need leaders to address real issues facing youth—unemployment, education—not just use them for political symbolism.
