He stressed that mere ordinary work would not be enough, and the party must put in relentless, tireless efforts to break through any challenges. He commended the performance of the party workers in constituencies like Virudhunagar, Tiruchuzhi, and Rajapalayam, urging them to continue their efforts for victory in the coming elections.
In his letter, Stalin defended the state’s government schemes, asserting that no one should be left out of the benefits they deserve. He pointed out that it is his responsibility, along with his ministers and officials, to ensure that people’s needs are understood and met effectively.

Stalin accused Palaniswami of being unable to tolerate the positive impact of these schemes and projects named after Karunanidhi, claiming that his criticism was unwarranted.
