Kanniyakumari: DMK candidate R Mahesh asserts alliance unity, campaigns in Aralvaimozhi

Speaking to supporters, R. Mahesh said, "I have been selected by Chief Minister Stalin as the Assembly constituency candidate from Kanniyakumari. We are receiving tremendous support from our alliance partners, including the Congress and Left parties. We are united, with no internal disputes."

He highlighted the massive public turnout at a recent rally, adding, "Two days ago, CM Stalin visited Scott College for a rally. A large number of people from Kanniyakumari gathered there to listen to the Chief Minister. We are confident that our alliance will win more than 200 seats, and once again, our leader Stalin will become the Chief Minister."

On allegations from opposition parties, Mahesh dismissed them as unfounded. "The allegations made by the opposition party and their candidate against us are completely baseless, as they have no development agenda," he said.

Mahesh reiterated the focus on development and governance as key issues for the electorate in Kanniyakumari.
