Landslide victory in urban local bodies is for DMK’s good governance: Thennarasu

Voters have responded to Chief Minister Stalin’s appeal, says the Minister

DMK’s landslide victory in the urban local bodies polls is a clean chit to the government in the State, said Minister for Industries Thangam Thennarasu.

DMK has won the maiden election to Sivakasi Corporation and conquered all the five municipalities and nine town panchayats in Virudhunagar district.

 “Voters have reposed faith in the DMK and responded to the call of Chief Minister M.K. Stalin seeking to extend the nine months of good governance in the State to the local bodies also,” Mr. Thennarasu, who is also the party’s Virudhunagar west district secretary, told The Hindu

This for the first time, the DMK has emerged victorious in Virudhunagar municipality and Kariyapatti town panchayat also. 

The Chief Minister has been telling that his governance was for all, including those who had not voted for the DMK alliance in the Assembly election.

“The landslide victory in the urban local bodies polls could not have happened without the votes of people who had not earlier voted for us. This shows the confidence the people of the State have on the DMK’s governance,” he said.
