**DINDIGUL, March 16, 2025** – Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) leader Premalatha Vijayakanth on Sunday lauded the recently announced Tamil Nadu budget, stating that many of its initiatives reflect the long-held policy positions of her late husband and party founder, Vijayakanth.

Speaking to reporters in Palani, Premalatha highlighted the budget’s focus on infrastructure projects like the Metro Rail and Global City, expressing confidence that their proper implementation would significantly benefit the people. She also praised the government’s planned initiative to send progressive farmers to developed countries for training, a policy she noted had been advocated by Vijayakanth as early as 2006.

However, Premalatha urged caution regarding recent Enforcement Directorate raids on a TASMAC office, stating that allegations of corruption must be substantiated with evidence before conclusions are drawn. She also emphasized the DMDK’s firm opposition to any delimitation exercise that negatively impacts the state’s interests, while expressing support for a three-language format in education.
