Palaniswami presented this manifesto at the party headquarters in Chennai. In the manifesto, AIADMK has announced that if it comes to power, women heads of families holding rice ration cards will be given free refrigerators. Apart from this, education loan waiver has also been promised to provide relief to students and youth.

The party has assured to increase the social security pension for the elderly and other beneficiaries to Rs 2,000 per month. AIADMK says that these steps will be taken with the aim of making the weaker sections of the state economically stronger.

Releasing the manifesto, Palaniswami launched a scathing attack on the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK).
