Overview

• At Jamal Mohamed College in Trichy, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin warned against embracing Nathuram Godse’s ideology and urged students to follow the inclusive philosophies of Gandhi, Ambedkar and Periyar.
• He invited students to join the DMK’s 45-day Oraniyil Tamil Nadu campaign, which commenced on July 1 and was formally rolled out statewide on July 3.
• The door-to-door exercise will cover all 234 assembly constituencies and reach two crore households to spotlight the Union Government’s non-recognition of Keeladi archaeological findings and delays in central education funding.
• Stalin underscored his government’s welfare schemes, including the Naan Mudhalvan skill development programme and a ₹1,000 monthly stipend for girl students, as catalysts for social justice and scientific progress.
• The campaign is central to the DMK’s strategy to build regional identity and consolidate public support ahead of the 2026 assembly elections.
