DMK working president M.K. Stalin visited Alangudi on April 9, 2018, where he conducted a detailed consultation with local cultivators and village representatives during the Cauvery Rights Retrieval Yatra. Stalin engaged with farmers who shared their severe hardships resulting from drying irrigation channels, unseasonal crop wilting, and crippling debts across Pudukkottai district.

The farmers expressed profound resentment over the central government's prolonged refusal to notify the Cauvery Management Board, pointing out that regional agriculture was pushed to the brink of collapse without timely canal waters. Stalin commended the agriculturalists for their unwavering resilience and active participation in democratic mobilizations. He reassured the local population that the DMK's foot march was specifically organized to ensure that the legitimate voice of delta farmers reverberated across national platforms.

Stalin affirmed that the party would not relent until full riparian justice was secured for every farming village. He reiterated that the implementation of the Supreme Court judgment was non-negotiable for Tamil Nadu's food security, pledging continuous solidarity and sustained political struggle until an autonomous river authority was constituted. He reaffirmed that the welfare of farming families remained paramount in every democratic battle.
