M.K. Stalin, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and president of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party, expressed confidence that the upcoming Assembly election will not be a close contest. He believes that a multi-cornered election will actually benefit the DMK, as their achievements and promises resonate with the electorate. In an interview, he stated that the contest is primarily between the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Stalin emphasized that other parties lack the organizational strength to challenge the DMK effectively. He also discussed the DMK's ideology-based alliance, which has expanded since 2019, asserting that it represents a strong front against the BJP, which he views as a threat to democracy. The DMK's manifesto includes various initiatives, notably the Illatharasi Scheme, which offers ₹8,000 (approximately $96 USD) for household electronic appliances, and an increase in the monthly grant for women heads of families from ₹1,000 to ₹2,000 (about $12 to $24 USD). Despite concerns about seat-sharing among allies, Stalin reported no bitterness and a collaborative effort in the campaign. He remains focused on his goals, dismissing distractions from critics, including actor Vijay.
