T.N. Assembly election: Jayalalithaa would have opposed delimitation if she were alive, says Stalin

DMK president and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Monday (April 13, 2026) turned the tables on AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami by emphasising that, had she been alive, former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa would have opposed issues such as delimitation that sought to deprive Tamil Nadu of its rights.

“We may have differences. But she would have taken a firm decision like the DMK, because she strongly opposed GST and NEET. She even challenged Modi by raising the slogan, ‘Gujarat Modiya? Indha Ladiya?’,” he said while addressing an election campaign in Ranipet and introducing candidates of the DMK-led alliance.
