DMK president M.K. Stalin sharply criticized the AIADMK-BJP alliance on March 20, 2021, over unchecked inflation that placed crushing financial burdens on working-class households. Stalin noted that the cost of daily food essentials, including rice, pulses, and cooking vegetables, had escalated drastically, alongside unprecedented price spikes for domestic liquefied petroleum gas cylinders and automotive fuel crossing Rs 100 per litre. He declared that reckless fiscal policies, exorbitant fuel levies, and callous market oversight by both state and Union authorities had eroded domestic household budgets and diminished the purchasing power of ordinary citizens.

Stalin asserted that the upcoming legislative election represented a vital opportunity for voters to dismantle an insensitive regime that failed to shield citizens from severe economic distress. He pledged that a DMK administration would implement practical fiscal relief, including state-level reductions in fuel taxation, direct consumer subsidies for domestic gas cylinders, and strict anti-hoarding monitoring across agricultural commodity markets.

Stalin critique resonated deeply with homemakers, salaried workers, and commercial vehicle operators struggling against steep daily living expenses. His decisive intervention reinforced the DMK commitment to pragmatic economic relief and empathetic, welfare-oriented governance.
