Overview

• PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss said only 66 of 505 manifesto pledges were fully implemented, with another 66 partially acted on and 373 left unfulfilled plus five personal assurances by Chief Minister M. K. Stalin.
• The booklet, titled “Vidiyal Enge? (Where is the Dawn?),” was released in Chennai and positions the party’s data-driven critique as a campaign tool.
• Jobs were a central charge, with PMK alleging the DMK promised 3.5 lakh government posts but delivered about 44,000, including roughly 15,000 temporary roles.
• Healthcare and governance were flagged as major shortfalls, with PMK citing only 3 of 18 health promises met and stalled moves on strengthening the Lokayukta, a Right to Services Act, and special anti-corruption courts.
• The report also lists unmet commitments on NEET abolition, loan waivers, the old pension scheme, agriculture and fisheries projects, and support for Sri Lankan Tamils, as Anbumani challenged DMK’s earlier claim of 98% fulfillment and predicted voter backlash in 2026.
