Sivaganga (Tamil Nadu), April 4 Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin appealed to the people on Saturday to defeat the Delhi team, arguing that it was "hostile" to the needs and development of the state.
Addressing a campaign in support of the DMK candidate and state Cooperation Minister K R Periyakaruppan in Singampunari, Udhayanidhi, who is the DMK youth wing secretary, said that the April 23 Assembly election is very crucial as it is a contest to extend the development and good work done by the DMK and the Delhi team, which is "hostile" to the needs or development of Tamil Nadu.
"Therefore, we must defeat the Delhi team and the 'Sanghi' group, and prove that they have no place in Tamil Nadu. Ensure the Dravidian model 2.0 regime for more development and welfare initiatives," Udhayanidhi said, highlighting numerous schemes, including free bus travel for women, the monthly grant for women heads of families, and free laptops for college students.
"Just as you made Periyakaruppan win for four consecutive terms, ensure a resounding victory for him this time as well," he urged.
Periyakaruppan, who is the DMK Sivaganga district secretary, is contesting from the Tirupattur Assembly constituency for a record fifth time.
