DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran Forecasts Kongu Region as Emerging Party Stronghold in Forthcoming Elections
During the "Tamil Nadu Will Not Bow Down" campaign event held in Karur on Tuesday, DMK Member of Parliament Dayanidhi Maran made a bold proclamation regarding the political landscape of the Kongu region. He asserted with confidence that this area is poised to become a formidable stronghold for the DMK in the imminent electoral battles.
Praise for Karur MLA V Senthil Balaji's Organizational Acumen
In his address, Maran specifically commended Karur MLA and former minister V Senthil Balaji for his exceptional organizational skills and strategic capabilities. "He will ensure that the Kongu region becomes a DMK fort," Maran stated emphatically, highlighting Balaji's pivotal role in strengthening the party's grassroots presence and mobilizing support across the constituency.
Lauding Chief Minister M K Stalin's Welfare Initiatives and Empowerment Agenda
Maran extensively cataloged the various welfare schemes implemented by the DMK government under the leadership of Chief Minister M K Stalin. He portrayed Stalin as the sole leader in the entire nation who genuinely believes in empowering ordinary citizens and advancing their socio-economic interests.
"The BJP, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah attempted to obstruct this progressive process, but Stalin successfully thwarted their efforts by providing ₹5,000 under the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai scheme," Maran elaborated. He further emphasized that women's empowerment directly correlates with the overall growth and development of Tamil Nadu, asserting that "Stalin is the only leader in the country consistently prioritizing women's welfare and advancement."
Allegations Against BJP and Criticism of Political Rivals
The DMK parliamentarian launched a scathing critique against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing them of attempting to gain a foothold in Tamil Nadu through covert and illegitimate means. "For that, they are utilizing slaves and traitors," Maran alleged, without providing specific names but implying collaboration with local political figures opposed to the DMK.
Maran also targeted Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS), the former chief minister and AIADMK leader, by referencing his political ascent. "EPS attained the chief minister's position by prostrating at Sasikala's feet, yet later turned against her and claimed he achieved the office through his own merit and talent. He deceived not only Sasikala but the entire state populace," Maran contended, aiming to undermine the credibility and integrity of political adversaries.
