The landslide victory for the DMK and its allies in the recently-concluded urban local bodies elections is a reflection of the abundant faith the people had in the government, going by the governance during the last nine months, said Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin here on Sunday.
Unveiling the bronze-made life-size statue of ‘Kalaignar’ M. Karunanidhi at the party office here in the presence of Lok Sabha MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, Tamil Nadu ministers Geetha Jeevan, K.K.S.S.R. Ramachandran, Thangam Thennarasu, Raja Kannappan, Anitha Radhakrishnan and Mayor N.P. Jagan, among other dignitaries, Mr. Stalin said the victory had set a new benchmark in the history of the DMK as people had totally stood by the party in the civic polls.
Assuring the people of Tamil Nadu that the DMK would live up to the expectations, he said, “This is the time for all of us to come together and work for uplifting the standards of living of the common man. I expect every one among us to be more responsible. Infighting should be a thing of the past. I expect self-discipline and dedication among all of us,” he stressed.
