Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Tuesday said the victory for the DMK and its alliance partners in the urban local bodies election was a recognition for the “Dravidian model of development” and a certificate of the nine-month rule of the DMK government.
Talking to reporters, he advised the elected representatives not to celebrate the victory ostentatiously. “Celebrate in a humble way. Live up to the expectations of the people. Work truly for the welfare of the people and pay attention to solving basic problems. Ensure there are no complaints. I will monitor your work continuously and consistently, and will not spare anyone,” he said.
Recalling his campaign speeches seeking votes for the DMK and its alliance partners so that historical schemes of the government could fully reach the people, Mr. Stalin said, “You should not think Stalin is greedy. The victory has not made me arrogant.”
