Will travel to Germany, England in September to attract investments: CM Stalin

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Wednesday said he would travel to Germany and England in September to attract investments.

“In the past few years, I have travelled to the UAE, Singapore, Japan, Spain, and the U.S. and, as a result of my interactions with investors, the State got ₹10 lakh crore in investments, and many multinational companies have started operations in the State. This has resulted in direct and indirect employment to 30 lakh people,” he said, addressing the DMK District Secretaries’ meeting. “The evidence of this is the double-digit economic growth recorded by the State, after a gap of 15 years,” Mr. Stalin said.

“Again, I will travel abroad in September to attract investments. In the coming years, the measures taken by the DMK government would ensure that the State’s economic growth is on a par with developed countries,” he said.

Mr. Stalin urged the party cadre to work to ensure the DMK’s victory in the 2026 Assembly election. “The DMK’s image has been boosted through the various schemes implemented by the party, and the people are in favour of the DMK. The Oraniyil Tamil Nadu (Tamil Nadu Under One Front) initiative has receivied a good response from the public. The party’s office-bearers should continue interacting with the people,” he said.

Mr. Stalin stressed the need for a strong booth-level structure, amid the row over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. He said he would directly monitor appointments to the party’s booth-level committees.

Before the Mupperum Vizha, meetings should be held at the district level, and the minutes should be forwarded to the headquarters, he said.
