Addressing the DMK southern zone Adi Dravidar welfare committee’s review meeting held in Tiruchendur on Saturday, the MP said: “As DMK leader M.K. Stalin’s tenure, the DMK has constantly worked towards the development of oppressed communities, weather it was 18% reservation announced by late leader Karunanidhi, the establishment of hostels for students or the employment programmes aimed at ensuring the future of these people,” she said. Mentioning the quote “tried and tested”, she emphasised that the people of Tamil Nadu had tested and proven that the DMK government had always worked for the benefit of oppressed communities. The development work and welfare programmes implemented in the State would win DMK people’s mandate in the 2026 elections, Ms. Kanimozhi said.
