EPS frustrated by success of DMK govt's welfare projects; his defeat will begin from western TN: Stalin

M K Stalin Coimbatore: Chief minister M K Stalin said on Monday that AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami was frustrated by the success of DMK govt's welfare programmes and that his defeat in the 2026 assembly election would begin from western Tamil Nadu. Stalin said EPS presumed himself to be on a par with late AIADMK leaders M G Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa, but the fact was his own partymen mock him, Stalin said at a welfare distribution event at Udumalpet in Tirupur district. Announcing a slew of projects for Tirupur district, Stalin said the DMK was implementing multiple development projects in western TN whereas the AIADMK had only scuttled projects that were brought by DMK in the past. 'I don't know what gives him the courage to campaign in this region. But I am certain of his defeat here,'' Stalin said.

The failure streak would continue in the assembly elections too, he said. "I assure you that more projects and achievements have been made for the development of all sectors in the Western Region under our Dravidian model government than during the previous AIADMK regime. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If Your Ears Ring, Stop Sleeping Like This Immediately Derila Ergo Undo We will continue to do so," said Stalin. Stalin said EPS was getting frustrated at the success of DMK's welfare programmes like Ungaludan Stalin and Nalam Kaakkum Stalin. 'EPS hoped that after delivering a pathetic government, he can deceive people by lying to them during the campaign. But his hopes have been dashed by the success of our welfare programmes,'' Stalin said. Hence, he went to the court seeking to prevent the DMK govt from continuing with the welfare projects, Stalin said. 'The court had not only snubbed him by dismissing the case, but had also slapped a Rs 10 lakh penalty on former AIADMK minister C Ve Shanmugam for filing the case against the projects,'' he said. ''Isn't this shameful for you?'' he asked EPS. Further, the Union govt data too had validated TN's economic growth which again has come as a disappointment for EPS, Stalin said. It was because of these multiple `blows' that EPS got frustrated and was addressing him in a disrespectful manner, Stalin said. ``But I am not bothered about his disrespectful language. I respond to such remarks through my work,'' he said. Stalin made seven announcements for Tirupur district including the implementation of the next phase of the Parambikulam-Aliyar Irrigation Project and the Neeraru-Nallaru and Anaimalaiyar project. "We are taking steps to hold talks with the Kerala state government to implement it," said Stalin. Earlier, he unveiled the statues of former chief minister K Kamaraj, VK Palanisamy Gounder, C Subramaniam, and N Mahalingam in Pollachi, who were instrumental in implementing the Parambikulam Aliyar Project. He also inaugurated a memorial dedicated to workers who lost their lives during the construction of the Parambikulam–Aliyar Dam in Pollachi.

Nainar Nagenthran flays DMK government for ‘stopping' distribution of free textbooks to Tamil Associations outside State

BJP Tamil Nadu president Nainar Nagendran on Monday alleged that the DMK government, citing financial crunch, had stopped a four-decade old scheme of supplying free Tamil textbooks to Tamil associations outside the State. In a post on X, he alleged that the DMK government had splurged crores on empty advertisements and now cited a lack of funds to distribute Tamil textbooks free of cost to Tamil Associations outside the State. 'Is this what the Dravidian model's commitment to Tamil looks like? Is this the focus the Dravidian model has towards Tamil Development?' he wondered. 'If the DMK government truly cares about the growth of Tamil, beyond politics, it should immediately revoke its decision and continue the free distribution of textbooks to Tamil Associations outside the State,' he said.
