The BJP’s Tamil Nadu wing escalated its offensive against the incumbent DMK by issuing a blistering ‘People’s Verdict Report Card’ on Wednesday. Led by president Nainar Nagendran, the Chennai launch dissects CM M.K. Stalin’s administration’s pitfalls in delivering on 2021 election pledges through 2026.
Inflation unchecked, jobs elusive, law and order crumbling—the report spares no sector. Of 505 promises, BJP contends only token efforts materialized, debunking DMK’s fulfillment boasts. Women’s safety, agriculture woes, and public security amplify the narrative of neglect.
Investment suffers from policy paralysis and corruption shadows, with infrastructure deficits in education and healthcare glaring. BJP spotlighted PM Modi’s ‘hereditary politics’ critique and Amit Shah’s ‘20% cut’ expose, fueling the graft discourse DMK denies outright.
Ties to Congress invited scrutiny over past missteps. DMK defends its model as championing welfare and inclusion. Grounded in voter dialogues statewide, the report foreshadows intense campaigning. In the run-up to 2026, accountability emerges as the pivotal theme, with this scorecard arming critics and informing a discerning public.
