Bets big on welfare schemes to break second-term jinx
The New Indian Express Tiruchy
|May 06, 2025
THE DMK's re-election bid seems stronger than ever before and the party is betting big on welfare schemes to retain power in 2026.
Ever since coming to power in 2021 after a decade-long gap, the party — led by Chief Minister M K Stalin —has invested its time, energy and money into welfare programmes, targeting women and students in particular whose votes can tilt the scales in favour of the Dravidian major.
The first big move came within the very first month of assuming office with the introduction of free bus travel for women followed by the Chief Minister's Breakfast Scheme for elementary kids and Pudhumai Penn Scheme for girls' higher education in 2022.
After being questioned by the opposition on its electoral promise of providing ₹1,000 per month to women, the government rolled out the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai (KMUT) scheme in 2023 which has benefitted 1.15 crore women.
