- Speaking in Dharmapuri on November 3, M. K. Stalin challenged Narendra Modi to repeat his Bihar campaign remarks in Tamil Nadu and predicted a DMK-led return to power in 2026.
- He alleged the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls is a malicious exercise intended to delete genuine voters in the state.
- He said a multi-party meeting he chaired passed a resolution condemning the SIR, citing Bihar as a warning and noting that national opposition figures had raised objections there.
