விவசாயிகளின் உரிமைகளைக் காக்க மாநிலம் தழுவிய அளவில் நடைபெற்ற முழு அடைப்பு போராட்டம், முழுமையான அளவில் வெற்றி பெற்றிருக்கிறது #Strike4Farmers...

DMK working president M.K. Stalin announced on April 25, 2017, that the statewide total shutdown organized in defense of farmers' rights had achieved complete and historic success. Speaking after reviewing reports from all 32 districts, Stalin highlighted that normal commercial and industrial activity had come to a voluntary standstill from Chennai to Kanniyakumari. He praised the disciplined, non-violent mobilization that effectively united rural and urban communities behind the agrarian cause.

Stalin pointed out that the comprehensive success of the strike exposed the isolated standing of the state administration, which had attempted to downplay rural distress and discourage public participation. Commercial markets, transport networks, and small businesses observed the bandh in full measure, reflecting public outrage over administrative inaction regarding severe drought, unpaid crop insurance, and ongoing rural distress. The collective action proved that the agrarian crisis was felt as a shared state emergency.

The DMK leader emphasized that this historic milestone marked a decisive turning point in the struggle for agricultural justice in Tamil Nadu. Stalin declared that the resounding success of the shutdown would compel both central and state authorities to heed farmers' demands for complete loan waivers and fair water-sharing agreements.
