DMK president and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Tuesday (April 21, 2026) asserted that Tamil Nadu, shaped by leaders such as C.N. Annadurai and M. Karunanidhi, could never be undermined by the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) as long as the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and he remained active and alive.
“I will make Tamil Nadu not just the number one State in India, but a model State in South Asia. I am firm in my commitment,” he said while concluding his election campaign in his home constituency, Kolathur in Chennai.
