DMK has historically been a strong political force in Tamil Nadu. M.K. Stalin campaigned recently in Coimbatore. He declared that Coimbatore will become a DMK stronghold in the 2026 elections. Stalin supported secular progressive Alliance candidates across multiple constituencies.
Stalin predicted a significant defeat for the AIADMK-BJP alliance in the Nilgiri district. He criticized Prime Minister Modi’s claim regarding the ‘double engine’ government. The delayed Madurai AIIMS project is a failure of this government, he stated.
Stalin mocked Palaniswami’s support for BJP’s laws, asserting it would lead to electoral defeat. DMK aims to gain ground in the Kongu region, which includes Coimbatore. AIADMK and BJP typically have strong support in Coimbatore, making this a critical battleground.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding specific strategies or alliances as the election date approaches.
