திராவிட முன்னேற்றக் கழகம் எடுத்துவைத்த கோரிக்கைகளில் நியாயம் உள்ளது என்பதை உச்சநீதிமன்றம் தனது உள்ளாட்சித் தேர்தல் குறித்த வரலாற்று சிறப்புமிக்க...

DMK president M.K. Stalin hailed the Supreme Court of India's historic verdict regarding the conduct of local body elections across Tamil Nadu, asserting that the judgment fully vindicated his party's procedural concerns. The DMK had approached the apex court highlighting administrative lapses, incomplete delimitation, and reservation anomalies in rural and urban civic bodies. Stalin emphasized that the judiciary recognized the fairness and legitimacy underpinning the legal challenges mounted by the opposition.

The ruling marked a critical intervention in ensuring democratic decentralization and statutory compliance before opening polling stations. Stalin stated that holding civic elections without settling ward delimitation in newly carved districts violated constitutional provisions and basic democratic fairness. By ordering proper legal processes, the court restrained hasty moves by the ruling establishment to manipulate civic elections without prerequisite administrative demarcations.

Stalin reaffirmed that the DMK consistently advocated for local governance that reflects transparent democratic mandates rather than partisan convenience. He observed that grassroots civic governance directly shapes everyday civic welfare, sanitation, and rural infrastructure. The judicial pronouncement stands as a vital reminder to administrative and election authorities to conduct grassroots polling in strict adherence to statutory norms.
