Tamil Nadu polls: CM MK Stalin interacts with people in Chennai's Anna Nagar during morning walk campaign

Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin campaigns in Anna Nagar, releases Chennai Super-6 manifesto, and expresses confidence in winning 200 seats in Assembly polls.

"Polls, people's counts--whatever it may be, we are the ones! We will win 200; we will create history! - MK Stalin"

New Delhi, April 20

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK candidate from Kolathur, MK Stalin, interacted with the people in Chennai's Anna Nagar Tower Park area on Monday during his morning walk campaign ahead of the upcoming Assembly polls.

People, from all walks of life, thronged to greet the Chief Minister.

Earlier, Stalin conducted a house-to-house campaign in the Netthukuppam area of Thiruvottiyur, after campaigning in Hosur, Krishnagiri, Mylapore, Thousand Lights, and T Nagar constituencies.

In a post on X, Stalin shed light on his dedicated campaigning and the overwhelming support received from the people of various constituencies.

Stalin, reflecting on the power of public support, exuded confidence in securing a huge mandate of 200 in the forthcoming assembly polls.

"Yesterday afternoon at 2 PM, I prepared to start campaigning in Hosur, Krishnagiri district...Starting in Hosur, Chennai. I concluded the campaign yesterday at 10 PM in Ennore. After finishing in Hosur, in the Mylapore, Thousand Lights, and T. Nagar constituencies, as people lined the streets to welcome me, I went street by street for about 5 km asking for votes, and only after collecting votes in the Netthukuppam area of Thiruvottiyur in the evening and eating fish at the home of a fisherfolk owner did yesterday's day come to a close. Now, as soon as the sun rose, I've set off for Anna Nagar...Polls, people's counts--whatever it may be, we are the ones! We will win 200; we will create history!," he wrote on X.

Meanwhile, DMK President and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Sunday released the party's Chennai manifesto at the Anna Arivalayam headquarters, ahead of the Assembly elections in the State.

The "Chennai Super-6" manifesto outlines a series of initiatives under the Dravidian Model 2.0 aimed at improving urban infrastructure, mobility, public amenities and employment opportunities.

The manifesto was released in the presence of district-level candidates of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.

The six initiatives under the "Chennai Super-6" manifesto include upgraded public amenities, enhanced urban mobility, time-bound infrastructure projects, scientific stray dog management, a global technology hub, and a global talent gateway.

Under the plan, the government proposes upgrading basic facilities in tenements managed by the Urban Habitat Development Board, with welfare associations, particularly women-led groups, participating in implementation with financial support from the state.

Tamil Nadu 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, which includes the Congress, DMDK and VCK, and the NDA led by AIADMK, with the BJP and PMK as allies.

Campaigning from 2 PM to 10 PM and then starting again at sunrise? That's some serious dedication. But I hope this energy is matched by actual governance. The fish meal at a fisherfolk's home is a nice touch - shows he's trying to connect with all communities. Let's see if this translates to votes.

As someone who recently moved to Chennai for work, the "global technology hub" initiative mentioned in their manifesto caught my eye. Tamil Nadu already has strong IT infrastructure - if they can truly enhance this and create more opportunities, it would be fantastic for young professionals like me.

Confident about winning 200 seats? That's quite ambitious. While I appreciate the Dravidian model's focus on social justice, I hope whichever party wins focuses on practical issues like water management, traffic congestion, and creating jobs. Manifestos are good, but implementation is what matters.

The scientific stray dog management point in the manifesto is something we desperately need in Chennai! As a resident, this is a daily concern for parents and senior citizens. Hope this isn't just an election promise but gets implemented properly. Good to see urban issues getting attention.

Respectfully, while the morning walk campaign looks good on camera, I wish our political discourse moved beyond personality-driven politics. The article mentions the alliance structures - it would be better if we debated the actual policy differences between DMK's and AIADMK's visions for Tamil Nadu's future.
