Chennai, October 3: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said that the DMK government which assumed office on May 7 after the win in the 2021 assembly elections has already fulfilled 202 of the 505 promises that it had made during the run-up to the elections. Stalin was communicating to the voters of the nine districts of Tamil Nadu where rural local body elections are to be held on October 6 and October 9.

Stalin told the voters, "You voted for us in assembly elections leading to our victory and now you should vote for us in the rural local body elections.
