DMK MP Kanimozhi expresses confidence in a victory, saying people want the 'Dravidian Model 2.0' government under CM MK Stalin. She highlighted achievements in development, job creation, and welfare, particularly for women and students.

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP Kanimozhi on Thursday expressed strong confidence in the party's prospects, stating that people in Tamil Nadu favour the formation of the Dravidian Model 2.0 government led by Chief Minister MK Stalin once again. "Therefore, I strongly believe that victory for the DMK is assured," she said.

Comments on Political Rivals

Commenting on actor-turned-politician Vijay contesting from two constituencies, Kanimozhi said, "Vijay contesting in two constituencies reflects his confidence and the confidence of his party. I do not wish to criticise that." On the Congress party, she noted that, "Sonia Gandhi has not been in good health, which has caused a delay in the release of the Congress candidate list. However, the Congress party's candidate list will be released soon."

DMK Government's Achievements

Yesterday, too, Kanimozhi expressed confidence in Chief Minister MK Stalin's leadership to secure another term. "The DMK is definitely going to be elected back to governance, and because people have confidence in our government, in the Chief Minister and what we've achieved in the past five years," she told ANI.

The DMK MP highlighted the government's achievements in development, job creation, and social welfare schemes, especially for women and students. "People want the government to continue because the development, the growth, and the GDP are in an upward trend after the Chief Minister came to power in the past five years. Even in Thoothukudi, they've brought in so many industries, and young people have got employment opportunities because of the Chief Minister MK Stalin's government. So definitely people are very keen, and many schemes for women empowerment have been rolled out, and for students who are interested in going for higher education, the government has really reached out to them, supported them, stood by them," Kanimozhi said.
