DMK president M.K. Stalin called on the Tamil Nadu government to forcefully reject the Union government's proposed Electricity Act amendments, warning that the legislation imperils vital welfare protections for agrarian workers and underprivileged families. Stalin pointed out that the central draft bill directly undermines state autonomy by curbing state regulatory discretion and threatening long-standing welfare initiatives, including free electricity for farmers and the provision of one hundred free units for domestic households.

Stalin emphasized that agriculture forms the lifeline of Tamil Nadu's rural economy, where assured free power has sustained agrarian self-sufficiency and protected vulnerable cultivators from crippling debt burdens. Dismantling state electricity subsidies through centralized mandates will escalate agrarian distress and impose harsh financial penalties on impoverished consumers struggling during the economic slowdown.

Stalin demanded that the Bharatiya Janata Party administration immediately withdraw the contentious legislative proposal and respect constitutional federalism. He urged the AIADMK administration to abandon political subservience and register official dissent to safeguard state rights. Stalin affirmed that the DMK will resist unilateral central interventions that infringe upon regional jurisdictions and harm ordinary working citizens across Tamil Nadu.
