Chennai, April 3

DMK President and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin addressed party functionaries across all constituencies through video conference from his residence.

The meeting was attended by senior leaders, including Party General Secretary and Minister Durai Murugan; Party Treasurer and MP TR Baalu; Party Principal Secretary and Minister KN Nehru; Deputy General Secretaries Minister I Periyasamy and former Minister K Ponmudi; MPs Kanimozhi Karunandhi, Tiruchi Siva, A Raja, and Anthiyur Selvaraj; Minister MP Saminathan; Party Youth Wing Secretary and Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin; Party Legal Wing Secretary NR Elango; and Party Organising Secretary RS Bharathi.

In addition, DMK headquarters office-bearers, district secretaries, district-level functionaries, party candidates, and local office-bearers, including area, town, union, and ward secretaries, as well as constituency in-charges, participated in the meeting through the video conference.

Earlier on Thursday, Stalin held a roadshow in Coimbatore and campaigned in support of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and alliance candidates, urging voters to back the ruling coalition and replicate its past electoral successes.

Addressing a public meeting at the CODISSIA Grounds, Stalin appealed to voters across key constituencies, including Coimbatore North, Pollachi, Valparai, Kinathukadavu and Sulur, to support DMK and its allies in the upcoming Assembly elections.

Speaking at the rally, Stalin said, "Unlike others who make empty promises, the government deposited Rs 5,000 into women's bank accounts and has now announced Rs 2,000 per month, which has instilled confidence among the public. This election is one of accountability, and the DMK alliance must win all 10 constituencies."Stalin said that Coimbatore holds a special place for him. "Coimbatore is one of the districts I have visited most frequently after assuming office. When we came to power, COVID-19 was at its peak, and I visited and inspected the ESI Hospital wearing PPE kits. Since then, I have been visiting Coimbatore regularly for various government welfare programmes. I consider Coimbatore as my own city, which is why I chose it for the first phase of my campaign," he said.

Highlighting the party's candidates, Stalin said leaders who deliver on promises have been fielded in key constituencies. He specifically mentioned Senthil Balaji in Coimbatore South and appealed for votes for Durai Senthamizhselvan (Coimbatore North), Thalapathy Murugesan (Sulur), Sabari Karthikeyan (Kinathukadavu), Nithyanandam (Pollachi), and Kutti alias Sudhakar (Valparai). He also sought support for Congress candidates in Singanallur and Kavundampalayam.

The Tamil Nadu Assembly elections are scheduled to be held on April 23, 2026, to elect all 234 members, with counting of votes set for May 4.

The ₹5,000 and ₹2,000 schemes for women have been a big help for many families, including mine. It's not just an empty promise, the money actually came. If the government is delivering on welfare, they deserve another chance. 👍

While the direct benefit schemes are good, I wish there was more focus in his speech on job creation and solving the water issues in Coimbatore. Industrial growth needs stable power and water, not just welfare announcements. A balanced approach is needed.

The list of attendees reads like a who's who of the DMK. Shows the party's strength and unity. Stalin Anna's hard work is visible, from PPE kits during COVID to now campaigning. Wishing all the best to the candidates mentioned, especially in my constituency!

Interesting to follow Tamil Nadu politics from abroad. The use of video conferencing for party meetings is quite efficient. The election is still two years away, but the campaign machinery is already in full swing. The Dravidian model of politics is always dynamic.

Fielding Senthil Balaji again is a bold move given the controversies. The CM's personal appeal for him shows party loyalty. As a voter, my decision will depend on the local candidate's performance and character, not just the party symbol. Let's see what they offer.
