MK Stalin CHENNAI: DMK will wait for TVK chief C Joseph Vijay to form govt, and “watch without disturbing for six months”, outgoing CM MK Stalin told TOI on Wednesday.Indicating that DMK didn’t want a constitutional crisis or another election soon, Stalin said he expected the new govt to continue schemes introduced by his govt, besides fulfilling the promises TVK made in its election manifesto..“The new govt should continue with the free breakfast scheme for schoolchildren,” he said when asked what topped his priority list. “And ‘Kalaignar magalir urimai thogai’ (Rs 1,000 monthly allowance to women heads of households).” When pointed out that Vijay had promised Rs 2,500 to women, Stalin said it would be difficult to keep that promise. “Give them at least Rs 1,000 as we did.”His govt fulfilled 90% of the promises the party made in its 2021 manifesto, the DMK president said, adding some like discontinuing NEET couldn’t be done because of Centre’s control.“In this election too, we promised only those things we could deliver. I don’t think TVK will be able to fulfill its promises (referring to six free LPG cylinders a year to each family of ration card holders),” he said, adding, “Senjaal magizhchi (we will be happy if they do).” Stalin had a steady stream of visitors at his residence from early Wednesday.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Congress Will Be Wiped Out Everywhere’: DMK Warns Cong Over Support To Vijay’s TVK2 Dead, 200+ FIRs, 433 Arrested, Over 1100 Detained In Post-Poll Violence In West Bengal‘Asked Me To Pay Rs 5 Crore’: Ex-Cricketer Makes Shocking Claim On TMC After Bengal PollsPakistan Navy Helps Stranded Indian Ship In Arabian Sea After Distress Call: ReportTVK Emerges Largest, But Vijay Needs Critical Backing To Form Govt; Will He Succeed?Election Commission Blocks 68 Lakh Cyber Attacks; ECINET Handles Record Traffic on Counting Day‘Directly Promoting ISI Narrative’: BJP Slams Bhagwant Mann’s Remark On Punjab BlastsIndia–Vietnam Upgrade Ties | $25 Billion Trade Push, UPI Link & Big Strategic Signal to China‘Shortage Of Funds’: Akhilesh Yadav Reveals Why SP Ended Contract With I-PAC Ahead Of UP PollsTeesta Issue Explained: Can Bengal Result Unlock Deal As China Factor Raises Stakes123PhotostoriesHow to make Oats, Besan, and Chaach Chilla for a light summer breakfastAre you storing fruits all wrong?
