Shanmugam expressed dissatisfaction with the five seats allocated to his party in the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, stating that it was a reflection of the DMK's unwillingness to give more seats despite their ideological agreement. He emphasized that the alliance is crucial for opposing the BJP and that the CPI(M) will continue its struggle against the ruling party. Shanmugam also criticized the DMK government's handling of the Samsung issue, arguing that their actions were in favor of the company. He highlighted the importance of student union elections and called for a return to political discourse on campuses.
