In an apparent bid to reach out to the youth ahead of next year's Assembly polls, DMK treasurer M K Stalin today said he would interact with students on September 11 over their ideas on development of Tamil Nadu.
"On September 11, 2015, I will be in Tiruvannamalai, listening to bright young minds of Tamil Nadu share their ideas, suggestions and innovations for Tamil Nadu's development in the next decade, as part of Puthuyuga Sirpikal, a mega student conclave," he said in a Facebook post.
In Tamil Nadu, young voters in the age group of 18-29 make up about a significant 21 per cent of the total 5.5 crore electorate.
As part of the party's larger bid to reach out to such a significant chunk of electorate, Stalin is already active in social media like Facebook and Twitter and he recently launched an exclusive app to connect better with young voters.
In the FB post, Stalin said, "Looking forward to discussing some innovative solutions with the participants. Now, the students of Tamil Nadu will set the agenda for the state's development."
"Keep sending your ideas as another round of 'Puthuyuga Sirpikal' will be held following the first one in Tiruvanammalai. I'm listening," he said.
