Chief Minister MK Stalin on Tuesday thanked the people of Tamil Nadu for providing a landslide victory for the DMK-led alliance in the urban local body polls.
With the counting trends and results pointing towards a sweep for the DMK in the corporation, municipal and town panchayat elections, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister thanks the people of the state for giving their mandate for the Dravidian model.
“We have registered a massive victory. I am grateful to the people of Tamil Nadu. This victory is the recognition for the Dravidian model politics,” he said.
“We will fulfill all the promises made by us. We have given 50 percent reservation for women in local body election, we gave equal responsibility to women in local body governance,” he added.
Stalin further said, “We have breached the Kongu region, the bastion of AIADMK, today because of the good work that our government has been doing in the last few months.”
The BJP which fought the polls alone, won 22 seats in municipal corporations, 56 in municipalities and 230 in town panchayats. However, it could not win a majority on its own in any local body.
The saffron party’s victory though relatively marginal is noteworthy. It has outperformed regional outfits– the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam, PMK, Naam Tamizhar Katchi, and the Vijayakanth-led Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK).
