தேர்தல் 2021: வீரபாண்டி, ஏற்காடு தொகுதிகளில் வாக்கு சேகரிப்பு - நேரலை. https://t.co/7haXsdvmId

Addressing vibrant campaign rallies in Salem district on March 16, 2021, DMK president M.K. Stalin engaged with thousands of voters in Veerapandi and Yercaud assembly constituencies. Stalin rallied support for DMK alliance nominees, calling on voters to reject an administration that had neglected tribal welfare, agro-forestry livelihoods, and rural civic infrastructure. He pointed out that hill communities in Yercaud and rural farming settlements in Veerapandi lacked dependable healthcare, all-weather road connectivity, and fair market avenues for local produce.

Stalin announced dedicated policy measures for the two constituencies, promising comprehensive welfare interventions for tribal residents in Yercaud, including permanent community land pattas, subsidized solar electrification, and enhanced primary health facilities. For the tourism sector, he pledged eco-friendly infrastructure upgrades, botanical garden enhancements, and improved transport services. In Veerapandi, Stalin committed to modernizing handloom weaving units, upgrading agricultural marketing yards, and ensuring timely release of water for irrigation from the Mettur canal network.

The campaign tour drew massive crowds of tribal residents, estate workers, weavers, and farmers. Stalin heartfelt assurances reaffirmed DMK dedication to inclusive development for marginalized and hilly communities across Salem district.
