Hard working cadre will be rewarded with tickets to contest in Assembly election, says Udayanidhi Stalin in Theni
Assuring that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) high command would reward hard working cadre with tickets to contest in the ensuing Assembly election, Deputy CM and youth wing secretary Udayanidhi Stalin appealed to them to work for the victory of the party and its allies with huge margins.
Addressing the various party wings office-bearers and senior functionaries in Theni district, he said that the party president M K Stalin is confident of sweeping the 2026 Assembly elections in over 200 out of the 234 constituencies.
'We should get our candidates win with huge margins....' he said.
He said that the party would certainly give due weightage to those who have been working tirelessly. With just 10 months more for the general elections, he suggested to the functionaries to organise micro meetings with the electorate, to sensitise them to the fulfilled promises and the benefits received under the Kalaginar Mahalir Urimai Thittam (KMUT), Kalaignar Kanavu Illam and others.
There may be fake news making rounds in the social media criticising the government. Nevertheless, the party cadre should take it to the people through 'thinnai pracharam' (door-to-door campaign) and educate them. Such measures could be done without spending any money.
'Please download the apps in your mobile phones to reach out to the masses by explaining about the welfare measures...' Mr Udayanidhi said and urged the cadre to frequently interact with the people.
He said that the free bus facility launched for the womenfolk had saved at least ₹900 in each dwelling every month. Likewise, the friendly schemes such as 'Pudumai Penn' and 'Tamizh Pudalvan' et al, had brought in a huge difference in the families and the DMK government had instilled confidence among the downtrodden sector.
Children have also utilised the schemes and gained access to higher education campuses with ease.
The political opponents may churn stories and create false allegations. 'Never mind about all that. Keep talking to the people directly about the party's promises and achievements. For all the amount of good work done by the party and the Chief Minister and other leaders, even those who did not vote for the DMK and allies in 2021, should cast their votes now in 2026,' he noted.
He denied the remarks made by BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah against the DMK and the Chief Minister. While the BJP indulged in a false campaign, the Union government's reports from Niti Aayog heaped praises about the Tamil Nadu government's performance in very many spheres.
He also took a dig at the AIADMK and its leadership for letting down the people of Tamil Nadu for joining hands with the BJP. The only party which can stand strong and tall with the people has been the DMK and it would continue in the next term as well, he added.
