During a campaign event in Gangaikondan, Kanimozhi (DMK deputy general secretary and Thoothukudi MP) urged voters in Tamil Nadu to deliver a decisive defeat to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming elections. She accused the BJP of harboring animosity towards Tamil Nadu and failing to release ₹3,600 crore (roughly $432 million USD) due to the state under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, a scheme aimed at ensuring uninterrupted education for underprivileged children. Kanimozhi also criticized the BJP-led Union government's drastic cuts to the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), which she claimed undermined the livelihoods of the rural poor. Her comments were made while canvassing support for DMK candidate S. Subramanian in the Tirunelveli Assembly constituency.
