DMK stalwart and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin was unanimously elected as party president at the party's general council meeting held here on Sunday.
In his address following his election, Stalin asked office-bearers to take a vow to work towards securing a landslide victory for the party in the 2024 Lok Sabha (LS) polls and emerge in national politics as an unassailable force.
The party should win all the 39 Parliamentary constituencies in the state and the lone seat in neighbouring Puducherry as well, he said.
This is the second time Stalin is being elected unopposed as party chief.
Exuding confidence that the DMK would win all the 40 Parliamentary segments, he tasked party functionaries to begin work right away to set up booth committees to face the polls and complete the work in two months.
Targeting both the BJP and the AIADMK, Stalin said the saffron party is attempting to do politics in Tamil Nadu against the DMK through defamatory propaganda as it has no achievements to list.
"The BJP is trying to do politics by stoking religious and spiritual sentiments," he claimed.
Since the people of Tamil Nadu have never mixed politics with spiritualism, the "BJP is suffocating". The AIADMK is a divided house, riddled with factional feud, and the national party is trying to use it to its benefit. "Do not forget that the BJP would go to any extent of cheap politics to win the next LS polls," he alleged.
