MADURAI: Ahead of the 2026 Assembly election, DMK President and Chief Minister MK Stalin on Sunday unveiled a new party membership enrolment drive, "Oraniyil Tamil Nadu."
Stalin moved a resolution at the party's general council meeting, which resolved to conduct door-to-door campaigns and reach out to the people on the State government's welfare schemes, and struggle to secure rights.
The party set a target of enrolling at least 30 per cent of the voters covered in every polling station as members, and the resolution was adopted.
Stalin said that at least one person in every household is a beneficiary of a welfare scheme of the Dravidian model government, which pursues the policy of "everything for everyone."
Hence, it is imperative that all families in Tamil Nadu come together to face the 2026 Assembly election unitedly, under one umbrella.
"This General Council resolves to take forward a membership enrolment initiative to protect with courage the rights of Tamil Nadu by not making any compromises," the resolution moved by the party chief said. He named the enrolment drive "Oraniyil Tamil Nadu."
The DMK president said: "The target is being set to enrol at least 30 per cent of voters in each and every polling station through the party's booth committees, which are already set up."
Party workers should go door-to-door and explain about the government's string of welfare schemes and its struggles to secure the State's rights.
Party workers and office-bearers should take up the task of enrolling voters as DMK members under the Oraniyil Tamil Nadu drive. The functionaries, including those at the level of the district and the local branch, should achieve their respective targets in two months.
All office-bearers should work in a full-fledged manner to achieve their goals.
"This General Council resolves that constituency observers and district secretaries fully supervise the new membership enrolment initiative and make it a success."
