With the 2026 Assembly elections on the horizon, the DMK has begun an extensive exercise to crowdsource public aspirations for its election manifesto, signalling an early push to frame its campaign around grassroots participation and welfare politics.Speaking in Tamil Nadu’s Erode district, DMK MP Kanimozhi said Chief Minister M K Stalin had directed the party to prepare a manifesto that genuinely reflects the “dreams and needs” of the people. She said the party’s manifesto committee had already started travelling across the state to engage directly with citizens from different walks of life.advertisement“The DMK has always been a party that works for the people. Our leader and Chief Minister has asked us to create a manifesto that belongs to the people of Tamil Nadu, not one prepared inside a room,” Kanimozhi said.‘UNGAL KANAVAI SOLLUNGAL’ INITIATIVEAs part of the exercise, the party has launched the ‘Ungal Kanavai Sollungal’ initiative, which allows citizens to share their vision for Tamil Nadu. Kanimozhi said teachers, labourers, farmers and women were being consulted to understand their concerns and expectations.“We are meeting our sisters, farmers, workers and teachers to listen to their grievances and their dreams. Every suggestion will be considered so that the Dravidian Model of governance continues to focus on social justice and progress,” she said.Kanimozhi added that the party was confident of returning to power with a sweeping mandate. “Our goal is to win in more than 200 constituencies and continue our service to the people,” she said.DIG AT AIADMK OVER POLL PROMISESKanimozhi also took a swipe at the AIADMK after party chief Edappadi K Palaniswami announced the first phase of its election promises. She accused the opposition of repackaging old schemes and trying to pre-empt the DMK manifesto.“They are repeating their own schemes. We have already started giving Rs 1,000 under the women’s entitlement scheme to empower women,” she said. Referring to the AIADMK’s promise of two-wheelers for women, Kanimozhi added, “This was announced in 2018 during their rule. They even brought the Prime Minister to launch it, and nothing happened after that. People know the truth and they will not trust them.”FOCUS ON DECENTRALISATION AND WOMENReiterating the DMK’s emphasis on decentralised governance, Kanimozhi said the manifesto would strongly reflect women’s issues. “Why shouldn’t the manifesto have a female protagonist? We have just started this process and we will be visiting more districts. The final manifesto will be released soon,” she said.She also said issues raised by farmers and small entrepreneurs, including concerns over electricity tariffs and stalled projects, were being examined. “The Chief Minister doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Problems that began during the previous AIADMK regime are being addressed one by one,” she said.CENTRE-STATE FRICTION AND AGENCIES ROWadvertisementO in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
