Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin commended Public Works Minister E.V. Velu for authoring an insightful commemorative volume illustrating the monumental life and public achievements of former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi through the timeless couplets of Thirukkural. Stalin observed that Karunanidhi protected and nurtured crores of Tamils throughout his six decades of legislative service with maternal devotion, instituting welfare programs that transformed society.

The Chief Minister praised Velu's literary craftsmanship, noting that the work vividly demonstrates how Karunanidhi's visionary political decisions, administrative reforms, and welfare measures perfectly mirrored the ethical tenets of sage Thiruvalluvar. Stalin remarked that Velu, known for his administrative competence in executing major infrastructure projects, has proven himself equally adept in literary expression and scholarly biographical writing.

Stalin highlighted that Karunanidhi's enduring literary and political legacy continues to serve as an unfailing beacon of social justice, linguistic dignity, and democratic leadership for the Dravidian movement. He affirmed that documenting the historic struggles of founding leaders through classical Tamil literature preserves collective memory and inspires younger generations of public servants to govern with compassion, integrity, and intellectual clarity.
