Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Tuesday lauded the "Dravidian Model" of governance, highlighting the state's recent economic performance and asserting that the state has delivered consecutive years of double-digit growth

He also stated that with continued public support, Tamil Nadu's development trajectory will further accelerate and position it as a leading force in South Asia.

In a post on X, CM Stalin wrote, "Dravidian Model is distinct. Proven in numbers. We built the foundation in three years. Delivered two consecutive years of double-digit growth. This progress is powered by the people of Tamil Nadu. Our thanks for your work and trust."

"This is only the beginning. With your support, the climb will accelerate. We are not competing within India. Tamil Nadu will lead South Asia," the post read.

Tamil Nadu Industries Minister TRB Rajaa also highlighted Tamil Nadu's economic performance, claiming that the state has recorded double-digit growth for two consecutive years and attributing it to industry-first policies and stable governance under MK Stalin.

He further contrasted Tamil Nadu's growth with the national average, asserting that the state's development model is delivering consistent results despite global trade headwinds, and said the "Dravidian Model" is focused on outcomes rather than slogans.
