During a celebration marking the completion of four years in office, Stalin conveyed his belief that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) would triumph in the upcoming 2026 Assembly elections.
"I have never claimed that I’ve achieved everything in these four years," he stated.
"I still have responsibilities to meet, initiatives to roll out, and we have one more year left in this term. With the people's backing, we will win the next Assembly elections and sustain this Dravidian model government."

Recalling his administration's achievements since assuming office on May 7, 2021, Stalin highlighted the remarkable changes that Tamil Nadu has undergone.
"When we established this government, we referred to it as a dawn, a fresh start. After being sidelined for a decade, Tamil Nadu required rejuvenation. We aimed to herald a dawn of hope for Tamil Nadu and its people. Today, I assert that we have ensured the state’s progress significantly."
Stalin emphasized the lack of major crises during his leadership, stating: "If I were to enumerate what's absent in our administration, it would include poverty, famine, inflation, significant caste conflicts, religious riots, and violence."
