"Reflects his confidence, don't wish to criticise it": DMK's Kanimozhi on Vijay contesting from two seats in TN polls

DMK MP Kanimozhi expresses confidence in MK Stalin's re-election, comments on actor Vijay contesting two seats, and addresses Congress candidate list delay.

"Vijay contesting in two constituencies reflects his confidence and the confidence of his party. I do not wish to criticise that. - Kanimozhi"

Sivaganga, April 2

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam MP Kanimozhi on Thursday expressed strong confidence in the party's prospects, stating that people in Tamil Nadu favour the formation of the Dravidian Model 2.0 government led by Chief Minister MK Stalin once again.

"Therefore, I strongly believe that victory for the DMK is assured," she said.

Commenting on actor-turned-politician Vijay contesting from two constituencies, Kanimozhi said, "Vijay contesting in two constituencies reflects his confidence and the confidence of his party. I do not wish to criticise that."

On the Congress party, she noted that, "Sonia Gandhi has not been in good health, which has caused a delay in the release of the Congress candidate list. However, the Congress party's candidate list will be released soon."

Yesterday, too, Kanimozhi expressed confidence in Chief Minister MK Stalin's leadership to secure another term.

"The DMK is definitely going to be elected back to governance, and because people have confidence in our government, in the Chief Minister and what we've achieved in the past five years," she told ANI.

The DMK MP highlighted the government's achievements in development, job creation, and social welfare schemes, especially for women and students.

"People want the government to continue because the development, the growth, and the GDP are in an upward trend after the Chief Minister came to power in the past five years. 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.

Tamil Nadu will go to the polls in a single phase on April 23, covering a total of 234 constituencies in the State. Counting of votes is scheduled for May 4.

Very classy response from her regarding Vijay. She didn't need to criticise, her confidence in DMK's work speaks for itself. Stalin government has done good work, especially in bringing industries to places like Thoothukudi. Jobs matter most!

As a Tamilian living in Delhi, I hope the development continues. The GDP growth she mentions is crucial for the whole country. But I wish politicians would stop this two-seat contest practice altogether. Focus on one constituency and serve it fully.

"Reflects his confidence" is a very diplomatic way to put it! 😄 The real confidence should come from the people's vote on April 23rd. Let's see if the schemes for women empowerment translate into solid support.

Good to see a mature political discourse. She acknowledged the Congress's situation with Sonia Gandhi's health respectfully. TN politics often gets very heated, but this was measured. The focus should be on development track record.

Interesting to follow state elections in India. The "Dravidian Model 2.0" is a compelling narrative. Kanimozhi's statement shows a party banking on governance rather than just reacting to opponents. The single-phase poll on April 23rd will be decisive.
