With the promise of individual as well as societal developmen­t, DMK president MK Stalin released a 10-year vision project targeting double digit growth in the State’s economy with a target of Rs 35 lakh crore in the mega rally organised by the party here on Sunday.

Addressing the massive rally, while focusing on the all-round developmen­t of TN as envisioned by DMK icon M Karunanidh­i, Stalin released the vision document with a focus on seven major sectors, which included economy, agricultur­e, water resources, education & health, allround developmen­t, smart cities and high-class rural infrastruc­ture. Claiming that the AIADMK was known for being corrupt to the core, Stalin pointed out that the only Chief Minister who went to jail while in office was the late J Jayalalith­aa and her death was still a mystery. At the same time, Edappadi K Palaniswam­i who was on his knees in front of VK Sasikala and became the Chief Minister, betrayed her also. “This is the time to teach these corrupt people a lesson and April 6 will end the corrupt government and May 2 would pave the way for the new government which was dreamt of by Periyar, Anna and Kalaignar and we are committed to make Tamil Nadu modern by adopting a 10-year vision project by initially concentrat­ing on seven key sectors,” Stalin said. He also pointed out that it was the DMK that worked for social justice and women empowermen­t and stressed that women developmen­t would be made one of the top priorities and the wife of each card holder would get monetary assistance of Rs 1,000 per month. He said that the upcoming government would never be termed a Stalin Government but a government of the seven crore people of the State and urged the cadre to take forward the 10-year vision to each household and have a door-to-door campaign to ensure DMK keeps coming back to power.
