I do not see the Assembly election in Tamil Nadu as a close contest, says CM Stalin
Brief
The contest is essentially between the DMK-led front and the AIADMK-led alliance. Our achievements and electoral promises have captured the imagination of the people. The outcome will disprove the notion that the DMK cannot win two consecutive elections, says the DMK president
Disagreeing with suggestions that the Tamil Nadu Assembly election would turn out to be a “close contest”, DMK president and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said on Sunday (April 5, 2026) that a multi-cornered contest would, in fact, benefit the DMK.
Taking a short break from his intense campaign schedule in Virudhunagar district, Mr. Stalin, in an exclusive interview to The Hindu, made it clear that the contest was essentially between the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-led Secular Progressive Alliance and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-led National Democratic Alliance.
