DMK president M.K. Stalin issued a sharp condemnation of the AIADMK-BJP alliance on March 20, 2021, highlighting the severe economic distress afflicting farmers across Tamil Nadu. Stalin pointed out that agricultural producers were trapped between escalating prices for fertilizers and essential inputs and unremunerative returns for their harvests. He accused the ruling dispensation of ignoring rural hardships while presiding over rampant corruption in Kudimaramathu waterbody rejuvenation contracts, which diverted public funds without delivering tangible irrigation benefits to farming communities.

Stalin emphasized that the incumbent administration had systematically undermined agrarian welfare by supporting anti-farmer policies enacted by the Union government. He pledged that a DMK administration would restore agrarian profitability by ensuring remunerative procurement prices, timely subsidies for essential fertilizers, and transparent irrigation management overseen by local farmer water-user associations. Stalin committed to waiving cooperative crop loans to relieve distressed agricultural households from crippling debt burdens.

The statement resonated strongly across delta farming belts and dryland agricultural regions where cultivators struggled under severe financial strain. Stalin decisive critique reinforced the DMK standing as a dependable champion of agrarian livelihoods, promising honest, accountable rural administration and sustainable economic security for farming families.
