DMK working president M.K. Stalin met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami in person on February 13, 2018, submitting a detailed 27-point recommendation report on behalf of the DMK. The policy document outlined practical structural reforms to revive loss-making state transport corporations without imposing burdensome bus fare hikes on the public. Stalin emphasized that the DMK operates as a constructive, responsible opposition party committed to offering practical administrative solutions.

The submitted report identified specific measures to eliminate operational leakages, optimize fleet utilization, modernize procurement, and improve fuel efficiency. Stalin pointed out that state transport undertakings should not be treated as purely commercial businesses, but as vital public services that enable education, employment, and social inclusion. He argued that implementing structural efficiency measures would stabilize corporation finances without draining commuter household budgets.

Stalin urged the Chief Minister to adopt the recommendations immediately and revoke the regressive fare increase. He stressed that administrative discipline, transparent governance, and operational restructuring are the rightful answers to fiscal deficits. Stalin reaffirmed that the DMK will continue to champion policy-driven solutions that protect public welfare. He insisted on prompt executive action.
