During a campaign in Trichy, Tamil Nadu, V K Sasikala (general secretary of the All India Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar Madurai Kamaraj party) called for the ousting of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) to prevent what she described as anarchic rule in the state. She criticized the Union government's consideration to reduce Tamil Nadu's Lok Sabha constituencies, arguing that it would unfairly penalize the state for its adherence to population control measures. Sasikala also referenced the tragic suicide of a 25-year-old woman from Manachanallur, alleging that DMK workers were responsible for her abuse. She warned voters against believing the DMK's promises, stating that failing to sideline the party could lead to increased chaos. Furthermore, she opposed the financial aid schemes proposed in both the DMK and AIADMK manifestos, claiming that the debt-ridden government lacks the resources to fulfill such commitments, which would only add to the state's financial burdens.
