Actor-turned-politician Vijay is also set to make his electoral debut with TVK, which could turn the contest into a three-way fight.
Earlier on Tuesday, CM Stalin interacted with residents of Sirkazhi town in Mayiladuthurai district as part of an early morning outreach campaign for the elections, engaging directly with voters and seeking support for the DMK-led alliance.
Stalin undertook a morning walk through the Serkazhi town area, where he stopped at a small tea shop, interacted with locals, and appealed for votes in favour of the DMK and its allies. The Chief Minister was seen sharing tea with residents, exchanging greetings and holding informal conversations.
Large numbers of people gathered along the route to catch a glimpse of him, with many taking selfies and expressing support.
Meanwhile, earlier, he also alleged that the BJP-led Central government’s policies like One Nation, One Election, GST and constituency reshuffle posed a “threat” to the state’s rights, and it was “only the DMK which can stop them”.
The DMK President also highlighted the schemes of the government and alleged that AIADMK has “ruined” Tamil Nadu.
