Asserting that "communal forces" were trembling with fear in anticipation of defeat in the India General Elections 2024, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin called upon the DMK cadres to "dedicate the victory of the INDIA bloc to the memory of his father and (late) former chief minister, M. Karunanidhi", reported news agency IANS.
In a statement on Sunday, Stalin said that M. Karunanidhi's birth centenary falls on June 3. "The results will be out on June 4. Let us hoist the flag of victory and dedicate the victory of the INDIA bloc to our leader Kalaignar Karunanidhi."
Stalin said that the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) for India General Elections 2024 had come in the way of celebrating the centenary of M. Karunanidhi. Still, the election-related work carried out by the party cadres was a tribute to his memory, reported IANS.
The Chief Minister said: "No one could deny his contribution. He upheld federalism and state autonomy."
