Even in Thoothukudi, they've brought in so many industries, and young people have got employment opportunities because of the Chief Minister MK Stalin's government. So definitely people are very keen, and many schemes for women empowerment have been rolled out, and for students who are interested in going for higher education, the government has really reached out to them, supported them, stood by them," Kanimozhi said.

Rs. 8000 coupons for TVs and fridges before elections? Feels like freebies politics is back. I want to know about long-term industrial policy and permanent jobs, not just pre-poll sops.

As a woman from TN, I've genuinely felt the impact of their schemes. The support for higher education and women-centric programs is not just talk, we can see it on the ground. All the best to the DMK government!

Interesting to see the focus on welfare and development. The claim about GDP growth needs to be scrutinized with actual data, but if employment in places like Thoothukudi has risen, that's a solid achievement.

Every party says this before elections. The real test is after they win. I hope the development continues and isn't just for show. We need sustainable growth, not just temporary schemes.

The Dravidian model has its merits, especially in social justice. But I wish the article had more details on the job creation numbers. "Many industries" is vague. Voters need concrete facts.
