Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam president MK Stalin held a roadshow here on Saturday after he arrived from Chennai and he was accorded a rousing reception by the public and party workers.
Several areas in the temple city were covered in the roadshow, which commenced from Perungudi and ended near Arapalayam spanning a distance of about 17 km. Stalin stopped in between to shake hands with the public and party workers and accepted petitions and books from them.
Both the members of the public and party cadres lined up along the route and the DMK members could be seen holding black and red-hued umbrellas that reflected the party flag's colours.
