Chennai / Karur, Tamil Nadu – The DMK’s flagship mass outreach campaign, “Oraniyil Tamil Nadu,” has crossed a major milestone, enrolling over 50 lakh members across the state. Among the top-performing constituencies, Karur, under the leadership of former minister V. Senthil Balaji, secured the second position in total enrollments.
Chief Minister M. K. Stalin Leads the Drive
DMK President and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin inaugurated the campaign with a door-to-door voter outreach in Alwarpet, Chennai, and later in Thiruvarur. The campaign engages residents through six core questions centered on Tamil culture, state autonomy, and effective governance under the Dravidian model.
Tiruchuli Ranks First, Karur Stands Out
While Tiruchuli constituency topped the list with 54,310 new members from 30,975 families, Karur Assembly constituency, led by V. Senthil Balaji, closely followed as the second-highest contributor to the campaign. The performance was officially acknowledged by Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin during his visit to Karur.

- Well-established booth-level party structure
- Active participation of grassroots cadre
- Effective implementation of welfare schemes
- Strong local leadership by V. Senthil Balaji, ensuring inclusive engagement and trust among constituents
Encouragement from Leadership
