"Our goal is to form our DMK government for the 7th time (in the state). Our alliance will win in 200 constituencies. Victory in 2026 is ours. In the last 3 years, we have been working for the welfare of people. No State Government in India has introduced several schemes like our government. In 2019 our alliance was formed as an ideological alliance. Since then we have attained victory in Assembly elections, Parliament elections, and Local body elections," he said.
"Many are doing political calculations against our ideological alliance. I am strongly saying those all calculations against our ideological alliance will go wrong. Our alliance will be victorious," Stalin stated.
