Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, who leads the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), traveled on the Chennai Metro from Chennai Central Metro Station to DMS Metro Station as part of his election campaign ahead of the state assembly elections scheduled for April 23. During his journey, he interacted with commuters to seek their support. Stalin is contesting from the Kolathur constituency and has been actively engaging voters across the state. His campaign also includes Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, who is canvassing in the Triplicane Assembly constituency. The elections will see a significant contest between the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance, which includes the Indian National Congress, and the National Democratic Alliance led by the AIADMK. Stalin has raised concerns about the central government's policies, labeling them as threats to the state's rights and accusing the AIADMK of misgovernance. He emphasized that only the DMK can safeguard the interests of Tamil Nadu and continue welfare schemes like free electricity and bus travel for women.
