I wholeheartedly congratulate #PriyankaGandhi on her joining active politics and wish her the best in this new role.

DMK president M.K. Stalin extended wholehearted congratulations to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra following her formal appointment as All India Congress Committee General Secretary, welcoming her entry into active national politics. Stalin conveyed his warmest wishes for her success in this significant political role, recognizing her potential to invigorate democratic mobilizations across northern India ahead of the pivotal 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

Stalin noted that her entry into mainstream political leadership came at a decisive moment when secular and democratic parties across the country were uniting to counter the divisive and authoritarian politics of the Bharatiya Janata Party. The alliance between the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the Indian National Congress represented a time-tested ideological partnership committed to secularism, social justice, and constitutional values. Stalin emphasized that strengthening secular political forces at the national level was essential for protecting minority rights, regional federalism, and the democratic ethos of the Indian republic.

Stalin affirmed that progressive opposition forces would work cohesively across state and national arenas. He expressed confidence that her dynamic participation would strengthen the secular coalition in defeating the incumbent central regime.
