2026: We will return bigger and better!
Delivered the keynote address at the #IndiaTodayTNRoundTable and had an engaging one to one conversation with @sardesairajdeep on Tamil Nadu’s political trajectory.
From classrooms to careers, from social justice to economic growth, the #DravidianModel has delivered across every sector.
Trusting our all round performance, I expressed my unassailable conviction that the DMK led alliance will script a thumping victory in 2026, bigger than the historic 2021 mandate, and form the government on our own strength.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) President M.K. Stalin delivered the keynote address at the India Today TN Round Table, followed by a one-on-one conversation with journalist Rajdeep Sardesai on Tamil Nadu's political trajectory. Stalin used the platform to highlight what he calls the 'Dravidian Model' of governance, crediting it with progress across sectors ranging from education and employment to social justice and economic growth. He expressed confidence that the DMK-led alliance would win the 2026 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections by a bigger margin than its 2021 victory, and would form the government on its own strength. The tweet is part of the DMK's broader messaging ahead of the 2026 state elections, positioning the party's governance record as the basis for its electoral pitch.
