Outgoing Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK chief M. K. Stalin on Saturday (May 9, 2026) urged the new government to ensure the continuation of the farsighted and well-planned schemes implemented by the DMK regime. In a social media post, Stalin emphasized the importance of maintaining these welfare programs for the state's development.
Stalin's statement comes as the DMK's term ends following the 2026 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election. The DMK, led by Stalin, has been in power since 2021, focusing on social welfare initiatives such as free bus travel for women, increased old-age pensions, and enhanced healthcare access.
The outgoing chief minister did not specify which schemes he considered most critical but called for the new administration to build on the DMK's legacy. The election results, expected to be announced later in May 2026, will determine the next government.
