Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin on Thursday flagged Dharmapuri as an electorally challenging district and asked party functionaries to work in unison to secure victories in all five Assembly constituencies.
Speaking at a meeting of DMK allied-wing office-bearers in Dharmapuri, he said the party receives strong welcomes when senior leaders visit the district, but electoral outcomes have not matched that enthusiasm.
He pointed to the previous Assembly election, when the DMK lost in all five constituencies in the district. He also noted that while the party won the Dharmapuri Lok Sabha seat, it could not register a large margin.
Udhayanidhi urged office-bearers to coordinate their efforts and focus on groundwork ahead of the upcoming Assembly election, stressing that unity and disciplined organisation would be key to turning the district around.
