Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], April 3 (ANI): Tamil Nadu Minister and DMK Chennai East District Secretary P.K. Sekar Babu on Thursday expressed strong confidence in the DMK's victory in the upcoming Assembly elections.

He was speaking at a meeting with functionaries of the Villivakkam Welfare Association, organised to seek support for DMK's Villivakkam constituency candidate Karthik Mohan.

He added that the government has taken its welfare schemes directly to the people and has implemented even those initiatives that were not formally announced.

Highlighting the development works in North Chennai, Sekar Babu said several welfare measures and infrastructure improvements have been carried out for the benefit of the region. 'The people of North Chennai recognise these efforts and will extend their full support to the DMK,' he noted.

Reiterating his confidence, he asserted that the DMK will secure a decisive victory in Tamil Nadu.

The meeting was attended by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin's son-in-law Sabarisan and his daughter Senthamarai, along with party members and local representatives.
