"I have come here to urge you to secure an even greater victory in the upcoming Legislative Assembly elections. - Udhayanidhi Stalin"

Madurai, March 25

Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader, Udhayanidhi Stalin, on Tuesday attended a consultative meeting of the Youth Wing administrators from Madurai and Virudhunagar districts.

Addressing the meeting, Udhayanidhi said, "There are still 30 days left for the elections. During the Parliamentary elections, all of you took the initiative as youth in the field and met the people to carry out campaign work. Because of your hard work, the DMK achieved a 100% victory in the Parliamentary elections. I have come here to urge you to secure an even greater victory in the upcoming Legislative Assembly elections."

Earlier on Monday, DMK and Communist Party of India (Marxist) finalised the seat-sharing arrangement for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.

CPI(M), a constituent of the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance, will contest in five seats.

"In a discussion held today (March 23, 2026) regarding seat-sharing arrangements for the upcoming 2026 Legislative Assembly general election--between the President of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), the Chief Minister MK Stalin, and the Secretary of the Tamil Nadu State Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)], P Shanmugam--it was decided that the Communist Party of India (Marxist), a constituent of the Secular Progressive Alliance, will contest in 5 (five) Legislative Assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu," a press note from the parties read.

Congress will contest 28 seats as part of the DMK-led front.

Tamil Nadu will go to the polls in a single phase on April 23, with counting scheduled for May 4. The current tenure of the 234-member state assembly ends on May 10.

The main electoral contest is expected between the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA), which includes Congress, DMDK, and other parties. Looking to unseat the ruling alliance are the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) with BJP and Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) as allies.

While I appreciate the enthusiasm, I hope this victory talk translates into concrete work on the ground. The last mile delivery of schemes like health insurance and welfare pensions needs more focus. The alliance should win on governance, not just rhetoric.

Seat-sharing finalised smoothly. CPI(M) getting 5 seats seems fair. The DMK-Congress combine looks strong. The real test will be in the northern districts where the NDA is trying to make inroads. AIADMK-BJP alliance will put up a tough fight.

Interesting to follow state elections from abroad. The DMK's secular progressive branding is distinct. Hope the focus remains on development and social justice. The single-phase polling should ensure a smooth process.

As a Madurai resident, saw the buzz for this meeting. Udhayanidhi has a good connect here. But the party needs to address local issues like water scarcity and job creation more aggressively. Youth want promises fulfilled, not just repeated.

The alliance arithmetic seems settled. A 100% victory in parliamentary polls is impressive, but assembly elections are different ball game with hyper-local issues. Will be watching how the campaign shapes up in the coming month.
