DMK President Stalin in a meeting yesterday with candidates and district secretaries reportedly questioned some of the candidates concerned about the low turnout in their constituencies.
The DMK’s sitting MLAs’ constituencies had the lowest voter turnout in the 2021 assembly election, while the constituencies where incumbent Ministers contested had some of the highest turnout. In particular, the low turnout in Chennai has come as a shock to the DMK leadership.
The IPAC team predicted that the party will win a majority of seats and come to power. However, the low turnout has raised various doubts with the DMK leadership. In this context, Stalin addressed some DMK candidates from Chennai, Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur and Thiruvannamalai districts at the Chennai Arivalayam yesterday. He asked them the reasons for the low turnout.
Stalin also gathered information on rebels who operated against the party after being denied assembly election tickets. After the polls, Stalin intends to take action against the dissidents.
