During DMK's 15th general council meeting on Sunday, Deputy General Secretary, E Periyasamy, asserted that even if a huge alliance is created, DMK can contest alone and defeat everyone in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
While speaking at the party's general council meeting where some crucial decisions were taken and the party's roadmap was discussed, Periyasamy challenged BJP and AIADMK to stop them from winning in the next Lok Sabha elections. "I want MK Stalin to be Tamil Nadu CM for next 20 years," he said as quoted by news agency ANI.

Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin was unopposedly elected party's president for the second time in a row. DMK's senior leaders Durai Murugan and TR Balu were elected as general secretary and treasurer of the party, respectively.
The general council meeting was held at St George's School in Aminjikarai in Chennai. Generally, the party council meeting is held at Anna Arivalayam, but due to space constraints, it was held in St George's School.
This time the number of deputy general secretaries was increased from five, so senior DMK members who weren't elected representatives can be elevated.
