Rallying ‘TN under one banner’ to deny political space for communal forces, traitors playing second fiddle: M K Stalin

Chennai, June 28 (UNI) Galvanising the ruling DMK’s well-oiled election machinery to retain power in the 2026 assembly poll, Chief Minister and party president M K Stalin today said the Dravidian major’s ‘Oraniyil Tamil Nadu’ (TN under one banner) campaign being launched from July one with an ambitious target of enrolling two crore membership, is aimed at denying any political space to communal forces and their stooges.

“The ‘Oraniyil Tamil Nadu’ campaign is to ensure that there is no space in the state for those who disregard projects for Tamil Nadu, deny the civilisational pride of Tamil and discriminate Tamil development in financial allocation by engaging only in communal polarisation as well as their stooges supporting them,” read a letter Stalin has addressed to the party rank and file.
