DMK president and former Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Sunday (September 4, 2026) appealed to voters in the Madurantakam and Dharapuram Assembly constituencies to vote for the DMK candidates, alleging the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) was more interested in "purchasing" MLAs to protect its government.

In a speech posted on his social media page, Mr. Stalin alleged Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay was not concerned about pressing issues but was interested in constructing a new Secretariat on the advice of an astrologer.

"He is least bothered about the protests by fishermen and farmers. Instead, he will visit London to watch a car race. When murders have become the order of the day, he will be busy releasing reels about the 'Singapen' force," Mr. Stalin said.
