A couple of hours after landing in New Delhi
to attend tomorrow’s Niti Aayog meeting, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister
and DMK President M K Stalin on Friday evening met top Congress
leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi at heir residence.
Later, in a post on X, sharing the photos of the meeting, Mr Stalin said
“there’s a special warmth in every meeting with Madam Tmt. Sonia
Gandhi and dear brother @Rahul Gandhi at their Delhi residence”.
“It never feels like a visit, it truly feels like being with family”, he wrote.
It may be noted that the DMK is a major partner in the Oppositon
Congress-led INDI bloc at the National level.
Both the parties were also in alliance in Tamil Nadu and had won all
the elections starting from the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, urban and
local body polls, 2021 Assembly and 2024 Parliamentary Elections
with a resounding margin, besides the Assembly bye-elections.
Earlier, Mr Stalin was accorded a rousing reception and a traditional
welcome when he landed at the airport.
He was received at the airport by the DMK MPs T R Baalu, Kathir
Anand TN Special Representative AKS Vijayan and others.
Mr Stalin after attending the Niti Aayog meeting is expected to meet
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and submit a memorandum seeking
early release of funds due to Tamil Nadu under various schemes and
sanction of new projects.
