The chief minister compared the current support with the 2021 election, when the DMK secured 2.09 crore votes. He said the combination of beneficiaries, committed cadres, and neutral voters would create a stronger vote base. Stalin asked party leaders to stay alert despite favourable conditions. He warned that opposition parties may use central agencies and misinformation campaigns.

He urged district functionaries to ensure that eligible voters remain on the electoral rolls. Stalin said the party faced difficulty during the special intensive revision process but must continue its efforts. He stressed the importance of verifying every booth and reaching every household.

Stalin also encouraged cadres to participate in the “My Booth, Victorious Booth” meetings. He said he would take part in the meeting at his Teynampet booth. He told party workers to ensure no eligible voter is excluded.

A Single Bench had earlier stayed the commission. The state then moved the Division Bench, but the court upheld the stay. The order keeps the commission’s work suspended until further legal action.

The ED argued that the state had no authority to probe central agency officers during an active investigation. It cited the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952, to support its claim. The agency said the move by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan aimed to disrupt the ongoing gold smuggling investigation.

The court agreed with the ED’s argument and dismissed the state’s appeal. This ruling limits Kerala’s legal options while the ED continues its high-profile probe. The gold smuggling case, first exposed in 2020, remains one of the state’s most politically charged controversies.
