MK Stalin, the DMK Treasurer, has sent a congratulatory message to Jayalalithaa on her winning the assembly polls.

Acknowledging the verdict of the people, he promised to “work as a responsible opposition party,” but also gently hinted at the AIADMK exercising restrain and allowing the assembly to function properly.

He also thanked the voters of Kolathur for re-electing him as their representative, and promised to work hard to make it a model constituency in the state.
