DMK wins over 200 seats; Sasikala’s political entry is welcome: Karunas

Tamil Nadu: Actor Karunas Thevar launched his campaign on Tuesday by garlanding and paying homage to the statue of Pasumpon Thevar near Kamudi.

The general elections for the Tamil Nadu Assembly are scheduled for April 23. In this context, Mukultho Tiger Party leader and DMK candidate from the Sivaganga constituency, S. Karunas, paid homage to freedom fighter Muthuramalingadeva by garlanding his statue at the Muthuramalingadeva Memorial in Pasumpon near Kamudi in Ramanathapuram district. He later told reporters: The DMK alliance will win more than 200 seats and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin will return to power.

Also, the AIADMK has no chance of winning. We are facing a group that plans to play politics on the basis of religion. In the last parliamentary election, we campaigned in support of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam to prevent the spread of Modi and the RSS ideology to Tamil Nadu, criticizing fascist parties like the AIADMK.

A group that conspired with the whites is now ruling the country. And that is the land of Sivaganga, the land where our kings, our ancestors, starting with Muthuvadukanath, Kattabomman, and the Maruthu brothers, sacrificed their lives. Therefore, in the upcoming 2026 elections, they are offering a coupon worth ₹8,000 for the Housewives Scheme announced by the Chief Minister. The Housewives Scheme. It is a very good scheme. It has received tremendous support from the people. Therefore, we will definitely win by asking for votes from the people by highlighting the successful schemes implemented by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin during his last five years in power.

Regarding why only one of you has been given a seat in three community organizations…

I should help those who have nothing. With the blessings of Pasumpon Thevar, who taught me brotherhood and humanity, that we are no less than anyone and no one is inferior to us, Jayalalithaa gave me the only seat in the three major caste community. Although there are over 200 organizations in this three-caste community, our party has received recognition from the two major parties. He also said that he welcomes Sasikala’s political entry. Present at the time were the party’s state secretary, Muthuramalingam, and the district administrators of Thoothukudi, Tirunelveli, Ramanathapuram, and Sivaganga, as well as the IT division administrator.
