Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin warmly received visiting Chief Ministers, Deputy Chief Ministers, and national political leaders in Chennai, marking a watershed moment in the collective defense of India's federal structure. Stalin declared that the date will be permanently etched in constitutional history as the moment when states driving India's socio-economic growth united to prevent the dilution of their parliamentary representation through fair delimitation safeguards.

Welcoming distinguished leaders including Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, Stalin praised their shared commitment to democratic equity. He emphasized that the gathering brought together diverse political movements under a common pledge to protect cooperative federalism against unilateral central policies. The Chief Minister noted that the assembly of influential leaders from south, north, and central regions demonstrates nationwide recognition of the delimitation challenge.

Stalin concluded his inaugural welcome by expressing confidence that deliberations would chart an actionable roadmap for interstate solidarity. He affirmed that Chennai's historic conclave marks the beginning of an enduring national alliance dedicated to preserving regional rights and balanced democracy.
