Speaking at the manifesto unveiling event in Chennai, Stalin noted, “DMK election manifesto has always been a ‘hero,’ but this time, it is a ‘superstar’,” emphasising the document’s aim for a greater impact and wider reach.

The manifesto focuses on “smart economic multipliers,” which Stalin said would ensure monetary support boosts local economies, supports small businesses, improves skills, and generates long-term benefits, while balancing development and welfare. He also highlighted a shift towards choice-based governance and a focus on long-term planning rather than short-term measures.
