DMK Deputy General Secretary and MP, Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, emphasized the significance of the ongoing Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Encouraging voters to consider the future of the state, she highlighted the importance of electing representatives who will advocate for the state’s rights and language.
Addressing allegations against DMK, Kanimozhi dismissed them, stating that any government ensures adequate facilities for voters. She questioned the need for such accusations if the DMK is confident in regaining power, attributing such claims to political motives.
The Tamil Nadu Assembly elections commenced with a notable voter turnout across all 234 constituencies. By 11 A.M., the voter turnout reached 37.56%, indicating a steady participation rate. Officials anticipate a further increase in voter engagement as the day progresses.
Over 5.73 crore eligible voters are expected to cast their votes in this election, determining the fate of 4,023 candidates.
