Stalin’s women-centric outreach ahead of TN polls sparks public and political face-off

Ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, CM M.K. Stalin credited ₹5,000 into the bank accounts of 1.31 crore women under the Kalaignar Women’s Entitlement Scheme. The one-time transfer includes arrears, advance payments, and a ₹2,000 summer assistance package. Launched in 2023, the scheme provides monthly support to women heads of households. While supporters welcomed the relief amid rising household costs, critics and opposition parties questioned the timing ahead of elections and called it a political move. DMK leaders defended the rollout, alleging attempts by the BJP to stall the scheme. The initiative highlights the role of women voters in Tamil Nadu’s electoral landscape. #TamilNadu #MKStalin #KalaignarScheme #WomenEmpowerment #Election2026 #DMK #DirectBenefit #ptinews #ptivideos #presstrustofindia Subscribe to PTI's YouTube channel for in-depth reports, exclusive interviews, and special visual stories that take you beyond the headlines. #PTIVideos PTI News : ptinews.com PTI Fact Check : ptinews.com/factcheck/factcheck.aspx PTI X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/PTI_News PTI Instagram:   / ptinews_multimedia   PTI Facebook:   / presstrustofindia
