This meeting underscored their commitment to federal values and bolstered their political alliance ahead of the upcoming assembly elections in Tamil Nadu.

CPI(M) General Secretary M A Baby paid a courtesy visit to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Sunday, commending him on the Supreme Court's landmark ruling against Governors withholding assent to legislative bills.

The meeting highlighted their shared commitment to federal ideals, as initially advocated during the CPI(M) 24th Party Congress in Madurai, emphasizing the importance of the Constitution and the authority of elected governments. This encounter reinforced their political alliance and aimed to unite Tamil Nadu's people under progressive and secular forces, especially with upcoming state assembly elections.

M A Baby expressed gratitude towards CM Stalin for his support and acknowledged the strong bond between CPI(M) and DMK, which serves as a bulwark against communal forces.
