During a campaign event in Tiruvallur, Tamil Nadu, Kanimozhi (deputy general secretary of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party) criticized the opposition AIADMK for its unfulfilled promises, particularly regarding the distribution of free mobile phones promised in 2016. She asserted that while the AIADMK failed to deliver on its commitments, the DMK has successfully implemented its promises from the 2021 Assembly election, including welfare initiatives aimed at supporting farmers. Kanimozhi also pointed out that the DMK's leader, M K Stalin, has introduced various schemes, such as providing electric pump sets without meters to 20 lakh (2 million) farmers, to aid irrigation. Additionally, she condemned the previous AIADMK regime for failing to ensure women's safety and accused the central government of neglecting Tamil Nadu's financial needs, particularly in budget allocations for state projects.
