Stalin Calls EC’s Voter-Roll Drive a ‘Shortcut’ to Hurt DMK, Vows Legal and Political Pushback

The Tamil Nadu chief minister used a DMK youth-wing event in Chennai to question the Special Intensive Revision’s timing.

Overview

  • At a Chennai gathering on November 8, M. K. Stalin alleged the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls is aimed at weakening the DMK.
  • He said the party is contesting the exercise in court and through on-the-ground mobilisation, promising to continue both efforts.
  • Stalin directed DMK cadres to block fake entries while ensuring that legitimate voters are not removed from the rolls.
  • He delivered a veiled swipe at actor-politician Vijay’s TVK by contrasting the DMK’s decades of organising with parties launched to chase the chief minister’s post.
  • The CM inaugurated the Progressive Book Fair, launched a DMK 75th-year seminar, released the volume ‘Kaalathin Niram Karuppu Sivappu,’ and predicted a 2026 win under a ‘Dravidian Model 2.0’ government.
