Chennai, January 3:
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president MK Stalin on Saturday launched the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam’s election manifesto portal for the 2026 Assembly elections, marking a key step in the party’s early poll preparations. Unveiling the digital platform in Chennai, Stalin said the initiative aims to directly involve citizens in shaping the party’s vision and policy agenda for the next term. He emphasised that the manifesto would reflect people’s aspirations, everyday concerns and long-term developmental goals, reinforcing the DMK’s commitment to participatory governance.
The Chief Minister stated that the portal will allow citizens, experts, party cadres and social organisations to submit suggestions across sectors such as education, healthcare, employment, social justice, women’s welfare, infrastructure and economic development. Stalin highlighted that the DMK has a tradition of translating its manifesto promises into concrete governance outcomes and said public feedback would help strengthen accountability and transparency. Party leaders present at the launch described the portal as a bridge between the government and the people, noting that the exercise signals DMK’s intent to begin policy consultations well ahead of the 2026 polls. The move has drawn attention across political circles, with observers viewing it as an effort to consolidate grassroots support and showcase the party’s governance-centric approach ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections.
