Former Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai launched a scathing attack on the DMK regime, accusing it of abandoning the very promises it came to power with. He said the ruling party, which had been staging “daily dramas” without fulfilling even a fraction of its commitments, now stands exposed in its final year. His remarks came after reports confirmed that the DMK government has allegedly decided to scrap 256 Assembly-announced schemes across various departments.
Taking to X, Annamalai wrote, “A recent report has surfaced that the DMK government, which has been deceiving the public for the past four years by making hollow announcements for mere publicity since coming to power, has now decided to abandon 256 schemes it announced in the Assembly because they are not feasible. The true nature of the DMK government, which has not even fully implemented 10% of its election promises and has been staging a new drama every day, is now being exposed in its final year of rule. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin had said, “We will do what we promised, and we will do what we didn’t.” The abandonment of these 256 announcements is proof that nothing he promised has been done. The only thing the DMK government has done in its four-and-a-half years in power without promising it is erecting his father’s statues in every town.”
ஆட்சிக்கு வந்ததில் இருந்து, வெற்று விளம்பரத்துக்காக அறிவிப்புகளை வெளியிட்டு, நான்கு ஆண்டுகளாக மக்களை ஏமாற்றி வந்த திமுக அரசு, தற்போது, சட்டசபையில் வெளியிட்ட 256 திட்டங்களை, நிறைவேற்ற சாத்தியமில்லை என்பதால், கைவிடுவதாக முடிவெடுத்துள்ள செய்தி வெளியாகியிருக்கிறது.

His criticism comes as officials confirmed that of the 8,634 announcements made since the DMK came to power in 2021, government orders have been issued for 4,516, with work underway on 3,455 of them. A total of 381 announcements remain pending, while 256 have now been dropped as unimplementable. These decisions were reviewed in a meeting led by Chief Secretary Shiv Das Meena, where departments were instructed to formally withdraw impractical proposals.
Among the scrapped projects are the Energy Department’s initiative to convert overhead cables into underground lines, the New Avadi Road–Perambur Barracks Road expansion in Chennai, and a proposed sky bridge connecting high-rises at Nandanam and Anna Salai.
Officials clarified that before issuing such announcements, departments must carefully assess whether there is at least a basic possibility of execution. Land acquisition hurdles, financial constraints, and feasibility concerns were cited as key reasons behind the cancellations.
