THIRUVARUR: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK President MK Stalin kick-started his campaign for the upcoming 2026 Assembly elections from Thiruvarur, the hometown of late DMK leader M Karunanidhi. Addressing a public gathering, Stalin said the DMK had already unveiled its "superstar manifesto" at Anna Arivalayam and expressed confidence in the alliance's victory.
"I am a son of the soil, of Kalaignar. I am asking you all, is victory confirmed? Is the victory you are going to ensure for these four confirmed?" he said.
Calling Thiruvarur "DMK's oor" (land), Stalin highlighted its significance as the land that shaped Karunanidhi and the ideological roots of the party. He said the campaign marked the beginning of a decisive electoral journey aimed at returning the DMK-led alliance to power.
The Chief Minister appealed to voters to support key alliance candidates. He urged support for DMK's Poondi Kalaivanan in Thiruvarur, recalling his close connection with the people and earlier electoral success.
Stalin also canvassed for TRB Rajaa in Mannargudi, praising his contribution to Tamil Nadu's industrial growth, and for CPI candidate K Marimuthu in Thiruthuraipoondi, describing him as a committed socialist leader. (ANI)
