DMK's Manifesto Has Always Been A "Hero", This Time It's "Superstar": Tamil Nadu CM Stalin

Calling the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam's (DMK) manifesto for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections a "superstar," Chief Minister and party president MK Stalin on Sunday announced a slew of welfare measures with a focus on women, families, youth, and farmers.

Addressing the manifesto unveiling event in Chennai, Stalin said, "DMK election manifesto has always been a 'hero,' but this time, it is a 'superstar'," highlighting that the document aims for a deeper impact and wider reach.

CM Stalin said the manifesto focuses on "smart economic multipliers," ensuring monetary support boosts local economies, supports small businesses, enhances skills, and drives long-term outcomes, while maintaining a balance between development and welfare. He also emphasised a shift towards choice-based governance and long-term planning over short-term measures.
