On April 8, 2026, Durai Vaiko, the leader of the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK), criticized C. Saraswathi, the sitting BJP MLA for Modakkurichi constituency in Tamil Nadu, for failing to engage with local residents. While campaigning for S. Senthil Nathan, the DMK candidate, Vaiko alleged that the Jal Jeevan Mission, aimed at providing water supply to households, has not been effectively implemented in the area.
