CHENNAI:
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK President M.K. Stalin on Tuesday said that present alliance with Congress and other coalition partners would continue in 2024 general elections.

The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister said that his government was bound to provide good investment climate in the state and added that the government would provide all ecosystems for that.

Stalin also said that the government is on the right path and added that criticisms were conducted for the sake of criticism. The DMK leader said that there will not be any slightest alliance with the BJP and RSS combine as far as his party was concerned.
