CHIEF Minister M K Stalin on Monday cautioned DMK functionaries against underestimating opponents, even as he remained upbeat about the party retaining power in the state in 2026.

Addressing party district secretaries and other functionaries online under the title ‘En VakkuchavadiVetri Vakkuchavadi’, especially to review the progress of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls exercise at the booth level, the CM said, “We should not underestimate our opponents. They will use CBI, ED, IT and ECI against us. They will spread lies on a daily basis, create illusions and circulate fake news through the media. We have to prepare ourselves to tackle all these.”
