On 8 April 2026, Chief Minister M. K. Stalin and VCK leader Thol. Thirumavalavan appeared together at a campaign meeting in Cuddalore, with the DMK-led alliance projecting unity ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly election.
Addressing the gathering and taking aim at the TVK, Thirumavalavan said, “How many seats we get is not the issue. We must protect this land and its people. We must safeguard the social justice politics that we have built and preserved. We must write the verdict on April 23rd – that there is no place for the right-wing gang here. The verdict must come out on May 4th. Our brother, Thalapathi (Stalin), has said that out of 234 seats, our alliance will win 200 seats. Oh Viduthalai Chiruthaigal, the very life of my life, every single vote matters. Send those who whistle to the theatre. Not to the Assembly. You cannot whistle in the Assembly. You can only whistle in a theatre. Send the whistlers to the theatre. For the remaining 14 days, we must work day and night to once again form a Dravidian Model Government that can protect this land and its people, and to build Assemblies.”
