On Tuesday, Stalin, who is also DMK President, sought votes for his party nominee and sister Kanimozhi in Thoothukudi. Kanimozhi filed her nomination to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Stalin sought votes from a cross-section of society, including women and fishermen, who the party said assured him that they would vote for Kanimozhi.
The Tamil Nadu chief minister went to the house of a fisherman in the Lions Town area and had a cup of tea, as reported by PTI. He also visited a local vegetable market here and canvassed voters.
Kanimozhi, Tamil Nadu Ministers Geetha Jeevan, Anitha R Radhakrishnan and Mayor P Jegan accompanied the chief minister.
Stalin also posed for selfies with many people and he shook hands with them.
Kanimozhi, also the party's deputy general secretary, later filed her nomination to contest from the Thoothukudi Lok Sabha constituency. Anitha Radhakrishnan and Geetha Jeevan accompanied her.
Kanimozhi thanked her brother and party president Stalin for giving her an opportunity to contest polls from Thoothukudi and expressed confidence of winning polls.
"When the chief minister met the people to seek their votes they assured him that their support is for the DMK," she told reporters.
On Monday, addressing a public meeting in neighbouring Tirunelveli, Stalin announced that the state government would move the Supreme Court against the Centre's 'refusal' to grant a Rs 37,000 crore relief package, sought by the state in the wake of losses and damage due to the December 2023 floods.
