I strongly condemn Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan for his disgraceful remarks calling Tamil Nadu and its people uncivilized. On behalf of the DMK and 8 crore Tamilians, I demand an immediate apology! His words have deeply hurt and pained the people of Tamil Nadu. What right does he have to insult Tamil Nadu, while happily taking its tax revenue, workforce, and contributions to the nation? The BJP government has no problem reaping benefits from Tamil Nadu, yet it repeatedly disrespects its people. We will not tolerate this!

#WATCH | Tamil Nadu: Farmers' association leader Ayya Kannu says, "... The Supreme Court of India gave directions to the Karnataka government to release water to Tamil Nadu every month... So far, more than 80 TMC of water is in Karnataka. Karnataka CM DK Shivakumar refused to release 3500 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu. The day before yesterday, there was heavy rain in Kerala. Due to that, the water came to Tamil Nadu. We can direct it to the Bhavanisagar Dam, but the politicians here have not taken any steps... If they do not release the water, they will cause damage in Karnataka... Now they are releasing 25,000 cusecs of water to save their people and state... Our CM, Joseph Vijay, must file a suit in the Supreme Court demanding Rs 1 lakh crore from Karnataka. They must give it to the farmers..." (02.08)

Tamil Nadu has: > 88% Hindu population > 3.90 lakh temples > and deeply religious people. But they chose a Christian CM. This is what secularism looks like. You choose a leader, not his religion. The last time something like this happened was when Congress gave us a Sikh PM.

How long will the union govt keep giving to #BIMARU states ? The money given to these states have not resulted in development because of lack of institutional capacity, example UP. Second: since gst is taxed at point of sales, a manufacturing state like Tamil Nadu loses a lot of revenue. Thirdly South Indian states being 20% of Indian population contribute to about nearly 50% of Indian GDP, but we get nothing in return. #NDABetraysTN

Imagine a world without elephants. Imagine forests without them. They would never be as rich, resilient and alive as they are when elephants roam through them as ecosystem engineers ! India is so lucky to have elephants. The latest Wildlife Institute of India DNA-based assessment estimates 22,446 wild elephants in India, meaning India is home to roughly half of the world’s remaining wild Asian elephants. Within India, the Western Ghats are the great elephant stronghold. Karnataka (6,013), Tamil Nadu (3,136) and Kerala (2,785) together have 11,934 elephants, more than 53% of India’s entire estimated population. Tamil Nadu has the third-highest elephant population in the country, after Karnataka and Assam. India’s top five elephant states are: Karnataka 6,013 | Assam 4,159 | Tamil Nadu 3,136 | Kerala 2,785 | Uttarakhand 1,792. Together they account for nearly 80% of India’s elephants.

Even by an accountant’s standards, it was a poor account of the management of the finances in 2025-26. Revenue receipts were short by Rs 78,086 crore, total expenditure was short by Rs 1,00,503 crore. Revenue expenditure was short by Rs 75,168 crore and capital expenditure was cut by Rs 1,44,376 crore (Centre Rs 25,335 crore and States Rs 1,19,041 crore). Not a word was said to explain this miserable performance. Actually, the Centre’s capital expenditure has fallen from 3.2 per cent of GDP in 2024-25 to 3.1 per cent in 2025-26. In revenue expenditure, the cuts have fallen in heads that concern the common people. Examples: ⦁ Rural Development: Rs 53,067 crore ⦁ Urban Development: Rs 39,573 crore ⦁ Social Welfare: Rs 9,999 crore ⦁ Agriculture: Rs 6,985 crore ⦁ Education: Rs 6,701 crore ⦁ Health: Rs 3,686 crore Funds have been cut in crucial sectors and programmes. Expenditure on the much-vaunted Jal Jeevan Mission was cruelly cut from Rs 67,000 crore to a paltry Rs 17,000 crore. (In 2026-27, it has been boosted to Rs 67,670 crore, but what credibility does the number have?) After the months-long exercise, the revised estimate of the fiscal deficit has adhered to the budget estimate of 4.4 per cent, and the projection for 2026-27 is that the fiscal deficit will fall by a meagre 0.1 per cent of GDP. The revenue deficit will remain at 1.5 per cent. It is certainly not a bold exercise in fiscal prudence and consolidation. The most serious criticism of the Budget speech is that the Finance Minister is not tired of adding to the number of schemes, programmes, missions, institutes, initiatives, funds, committees, hubs, etc. I counted at least 24. I leave it to your imagination how many of these will be forgotten and vanish by next year. : Former Finance Minister Shri P. Chidambaram

Tamil Nadu definitely missed a person like EPS to lead them. 4.5 years of able leadership and he handled COVID in the best possible manner. With 10.5L crore of debt, the situation is worse than COVID when you compare the financial situation of the state. With so many freebies and welfare schemes announced, where will this government arrange funds to fulfil everything.

Impact After Term | 03 : Reducing the Revenue Deficit While Expanding Welfare When the DMK Government assumed office in 2021, Tamil Nadu was confronting one of the gravest fiscal crises in its history amid the devastating second wave of COVID-19. The State inherited a revenue deficit of nearly ₹62,000 crore alongside severe economic distress. With the support and guidance of the then Chief Minister Thiru. M.K.Stalin, Dr. Dr P Thiaga Rajan (PTR), as Minister for Finance & Human Resources Management, pursued structural reforms and welfare expansion despite severe fiscal constraints. The White Paper on State Finances released in August 2021 exposed the scale of fiscal stress and laid the foundation for long-term reforms, including data-centric governance measures aimed at improving beneficiary targeting and reducing leakages. Even during this crisis, the Government implemented welfare measures on an unprecedented scale — ₹4,000 COVID relief assistance and grocery support for 2.1 crore ration cardholders at a total cost of ₹9,370 crore; nearly ₹9,000 crore towards crop, jewel, and SHG loan waivers; over ₹2,200 crore for free bus travel for women; ₹698 crore for Pudhumai Penn; and a ₹3 per litre reduction in petrol tax despite an annual revenue impact of ₹1,160 crore. Despite these large-scale welfare commitments, unprecedented and difficult fiscal reforms helped reduce the inherited annual revenue deficit by roughly half within two years — demonstrating that fiscal discipline and social welfare need not be pursued at the expense of one another. — Admin Team

“Go to the battlefields of election in January 2029. Till then, the only priority should be the country, its poor, farmers, women, and the youth,” our Hon'ble PM Narendra Modi said in his address to the media ahead of the Parliament session. But the very next day, his government's #Budget2024 has neglected the people of Tamil Nadu. This is unacceptable and condemnable. While the budget includes announcements for states ruled by BJP allies, there is no guarantee these states will receive the promised funds, just as Tamil Nadu has been denied funds for the #ChennaiMetro for the past three years. Shockingly, the words 'Tamil' or 'Tamil Nadu' do not appear even once in the entire budget speech by Hon'ble Nirmala Sitharaman, who previously began her budget speeches with 'Thirukkural'. In light of this blatant neglect of Tamil Nadu, I have decided to boycott the NITI Aayog meeting scheduled for 27th July, chaired by the Hon'ble PM. #BJPBetraysTamilnadu

We are not allowing this three-language formula. Nearly 3500 crores are not being settled under the Samagra Shiksha. Now the central government is adopting a new tactic. Certainly, the state will oppose whenever it comes within its jurisdiction to oppose, and our leader has rightly said that the state is bound by the two-language formula... So, whatever backdoor methods the central government is adopting, we will suddenly oppose them."
