Tamil Nadu BJP has dropped a political bombshell with the release of its ‘People’s Verdict Report Card,’ rigorously assessing the DMK government’s stewardship since 2021. State chief Nainar Nagendran presented the findings in Chennai, zeroing in on unkept electoral vows, rampant corruption, and governance breakdowns under CM M.K. Stalin.
Covering inflation, employment, security, education, health, farming, and women’s protection, the report reveals DMK fulfilled scant few of its 505 manifesto commitments. Partial implementations don’t cut it, BJP argues, challenging official tallies of success.
Soaring costs, job scarcity, and weakening law enforcement have eroded public trust, impacting investment flows and growth prospects. Schools and hospitals lag in infrastructure and efficacy, per the analysis. On corruption, BJP invoked national leaders’ warnings—Modi’s dynasty jabs and Shah’s commission scandal—to underscore alleged rot.
DMK’s pact with Congress drew fire too, linked to old governance scandals. The ruling party pushes back, emphasizing its Dravidian framework of justice and welfare. Born from grassroots feedback, this timely report ramps up pre-2026 poll rhetoric. As accusations fly, Tamil Nadu braces for a showdown where performance metrics could sway the electorate.
