Confident Of ‘Big Win’
After filing his nomination papers, Stalin said he was witnessing stronger support compared to previous elections and predicted a resounding mandate.
“Our victory will be very bright. Compared to the last three times, this time I’m witnessing huge support,” he said, asserting that the alliance was poised for a decisive win.
Strong Track Record In Kolathur
Stalin has represented the Kolathur constituency since 2011, winning successive Assembly elections in 2011, 2016, and 2021. The seat has remained a stronghold for the DMK leader over the past decade.

Soon after filing his nomination, Stalin held a brief roadshow in the constituency, greeting supporters and seeking public backing. He also released a book highlighting his developmental works and achievements in Kolathur.
Political Messaging: ‘TN vs Delhi’
In a sharp political pitch, Stalin framed the election as a broader ideological battle, stating that Tamil Nadu was “fighting against Delhi,” while emphasising the unity of the opposition alliance.
