DMK minister KN Nehru intensified the 2026 assembly election campaign, urging party workers to secure a victory in Srirangam, calling it a 'politically decisive' constituency for the party to reclaim power under CM MK Stalin.
Tamil Nadu Minister and DMK candidate KN Nehru on Friday intensified the party's 2026 assembly election campaign, urging the party workers to ensure a victory in Srirangam as it remains the "politically decisive" key to reclaiming power in the state.
Addressing a party meeting, Nehru, who is contesting from the Tiruchirappalli West constituency, urged cadres to secure a landslide victory for S Durairaj, the DMK's candidate for Srirangam. "DMK president and Chief Minister MK Stalin would once again assume office. Srirangam is a politically decisive constituency; a win there has historically signalled the formation of government in Tamil Nadu. Durairaj's (DMK candidate for Srirangam assembly constituency) victory would represent not just an individual success but a collective triumph for the party leadership. I urge the cadres to secure a landslide win," he said.
Strategic Roadmap for Campaigning
Highlighting that the DMK had swept all nine constituencies in Trichy in the previous Assembly elections, he directed the party workers with a strategic roadmap for the final weeks of campaigning. "I advise party workers to identify target voters, effectively communicate government schemes, and mobilise support across all sections of society to build a strong electoral base. The cadres should ensure a decisive win for Durairaj and help bring back the DMK government under MK Stalin," said Nehru.
Election Landscape
The upcoming polls in Tamil Nadu will be held in a single phase on April 23, with counting scheduled for May 4. The election would cover a total of 234 constituencies. DMK is contesting on 164 seats, leading the Secular Progressive Alliance against the AIADMK-led NDA in Tamil Nadu. The main electoral contest in the State is expected between the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA), and the NDA led by AIADMK. However, actor-turned-politician Vijay will look to turn it into a three-way contest. (ANI)
