War Of Words Continue As CM Stalin Questions The Central Government On Fund Allocations And Annamalai Retorts With Data Points

The Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin in his X post on 05 January 2024 has listed out all the achievements that his government has accomplished so far since assuming office and has questioned what the Union government has done so far for the state. In his post, he has also attached a rebuttal video by the Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu to the various accusations and data points made by the Union government Finance Minister Nirmala Seetharaman during her recent visit to the state.

Answering this allegation, Tamil Nadu BJP chief K. Annamalai posted on X strongly answering the CM, calling the allegations of the CM as ‘hallmark of the DMK’s ecosystem is lies & deceit’. He also posted that the state has received more than ₹10.76 Lakh Crore during the past 9 years of PM Modi’s leadership. He has also asked the CM, ‘What did DMK get TN during the UPA regime except putting our state in a bad light due to rampant corruption?’.

Has The BJP Government Gontributed Anything To Tamil Nadu?

The document shared by the Tamil Nadu BJP Chief K. Annamalai states a few points which draw attention. The document shows how much the state connectivity has improved. We have recently seen improvements to the Chennai and Trichy airports, while other districts such as Neyveli, Ramanathapuram, Thanjavur and Vellore will be connected under the UDAN scheme. Railways connectivity has been improvised with measures such as gauge conversion, electrification and introduction of new Vande Bharat rail routes. Ports have been modernised under the Sagarmala projects. Apart from these measures such as new medical colleges, PMSVANidhi, BIMA Yojana, increasing the number of PM Jan Aushadi Kendras, MSME loans, Smart Cities development, water supply through the Jal Jeevan mission, and Antyodhaya Anna Yojana are to name a few. However, if the CM asks what the centre has contributed to the state, this can mean that the CM is unaware of the developments in his own state or does not like to credit the centre for any achievements in the state. It has been proven time and again that state development is inherently dependent on the cooperation between the state and central administrations. Antagonistic attitudes between the administrators can only cause trouble for the common man.
