அண்ணா என்று தமிழ்நாடே அன்புடன் அழைக்கும் இம்மண்ணின் தலைமகன் பேரறிஞர் அண்ணா அவர்கள் உரத்து முழங்கிய கொள்கைகள் இன்று இந்தியத் துணைக்கண்டம்...

Paying solemn homage to Dravidian icon and former Chief Minister C.N. Annadurai on his 53rd memorial anniversary, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin pledged that his government will tirelessly march along the ideological path charted by Perarignar Anna. Stalin observed that the transformative political principles articulated by Anna decades ago are now echoing across the Indian subcontinent, as regional states increasingly assert their legitimate constitutional autonomy against centralized control.

The Chief Minister reflected on Anna's historic role in mobilizing the Tamil people through rationalist discourse, literary eloquence, and democratic organizing. Under Anna's leadership, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam laid the groundwork for state-driven welfare, social justice, and linguistic self-respect, renaming Madras State as Tamil Nadu and securing statutory two-language policy protections. Stalin noted that these achievements created the structural foundation for the state's modern socio-economic progress.

Stalin affirmed that defending state rights is the highest tribute the present administration can pay to Anna's memory. He vowed that the DMK government will persistently advocate for fiscal decentralization, federal balance, and inclusive growth, ensuring that Anna's visionary principles guide Tamil Nadu for generations to come.
