Chief Minister M.K. Stalin highlights Tamil Nadu's progress under his 'Dravidian Model' of governance in Pongal message.
Tamil Nadu’s uniqueness and glory will continue to shine in the Indian Union as long as the people remain united, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said on Monday.
In his Pongal message, he said his ‘Dravidian Model’ of governance had proved to be a ‘safety ring’, with peace, fraternity, religious harmony, progressive thinking, and development elevating Tamil Nadu to the ‘numero uno’ position in the country.
“No section of society has been sidelined. No district was boycotted. No department has lagged behind. We have shown that there can be distributed and balanced development across the State,” Mr. Stalin said.
Though there was no dearth of crises, challenges, and impacts of natural disasters, Mr. Stalin said the State government was overcoming them. “With people’s support, we have been winning on both the ideological and electoral fronts, and have been destroying the dreams of enemies,” he said.

The Socio Economic and Educational Survey (caste census) report, accepted by the Karnataka government on Friday, has proposed an increase in reservation to other backward classes (OBCs) from the existing 32% to 51 %. This would result in total reservation in the State going up to 85%, including 10% to the economically weaker sections (EWS) and 24% to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
