Chennai, March 26 DMK leaders Kanimozhi Somu and Thamizhachi Thangapandian on Thursday claimed that the "Dravidian Model" of governance has already secured a "repeat mandate" through its transformative welfare schemes.
The Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu will be held on April 23.
The DMK leaders characterized the BJP’s outreach in Tamil Nadu as a "vote-seeking exercise" devoid of actual funding, while dismissing the AIADMK’s recent political moves as a "hasty" imitation of DMK policies.
The DMK's fulfillment of 478 out of 500 electoral promises would pave the way for a "massive absolute majority" and the launch of "Dravidian Model 2.0" in 2026, they said.
Somu, a Rajya Sabha member, leveled sharp criticism at the AIADMK's candidate selection and policy framework.
"I am very sorry to say that there was no woman’s name found on the (AIADMK) candidature list," Somu told
