During a campaign event, Udhayanidhi Stalin (Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu) criticized the AIADMK-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), claiming it would lead to a regressive state if elected. He called on the electorate to choose the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) to maintain growth and to reject the AIADMK and its ally, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Stalin highlighted the party's commitment to introduce an ₹8,000 (approximately $95 USD) coupon scheme for homemakers immediately upon forming the government. He encouraged voters to ensure the DMK secures all seven Assembly seats in Villupuram district, where the party previously won four out of seven seats. The elections for the 234 Assembly seats in Tamil Nadu are set for April 23.
