The data submitted by the Hon'ble Minister shows a sharp mismatch between allocation and actual release. In Keralam, total grants have fallen from Rs 22,559 crores in 2021-22 to just Rs 3,332 crores in 2025-26, with only Rs 1,064 crores actually released. Key sectors like urban local bodies, health...

Madurai Airport connectivity is a major issue. As the Hon’ble Minister is aware, flight connectivity between Madurai and Chennai has been reduced, and at present only four flights are operating. Earlier, there were eight flights to Chennai, but the number has now been reduced. Similarly, flight services between Madurai and Bengaluru have also been curtailed. Therefore, I request the Hon’ble Minister to assure the House that the frequency of flights on the Madurai–Chennai and Madurai–Bengaluru routes will be increased. : Manickam Tagore .B🇮🇳மாணிக்கம் தாகூர்.ப ji in Lok Sabha

👉 The people of India are struggling for petrol, diesel, and gas, which are fundamental to their livelihood. Recently, the government increased the price of LPG by ₹60. Through this, the government is directly crushing the people. 👉 There was no allocation of funds or schemes for states like Tamil Nadu, Keralam, and West Bengal. The people of these states know very well that since they do not support the BJP, the BJP is taking revenge on them. 👉 Welfare schemes like MGNREGA, PM POSHAN, and the Jal Jeevan Mission have seen reductions in fund allocation. 👉 There is no progress, there is no vision, and there is no stability in the economy. : Dr M K Vishnu Prasad ji in Lok Sabha

Tamil Nadu Here it comes ! India’s first Conservation Centre for the Slender Loris has been opened today at Kadavur in Dindigul district by the Hon'ble Forest Minister virtually, marking a significant milestone for the protection of one of the country’s most elusive and endangered primates. Built at a cost of Rs 16.04 Crores, the Centre will serve as a dedicated hub for habitat protection, population estimation & conservation action including walking trails. The moment is especially meaningful as it builds on the landmark step taken by the Government of Tamil Nadu in 2022, when India’s first Slender Loris Conservation Reserve was notified at Kadavur to an extent of 11,800 Ha in Karur and Dindigul Districts. From Notifying the reserve to now establishing a dedicated conservation centre, this journey is like a dream come true RS Rajakannappan- தமிழ்நாட்டை தலைகுனிய விடமாட்டேன் Tamil Nadu Forest Department #slenderloris

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

Today morning my supplementary question no 1 on Young India Skills University. I'm proud to say that under the able and dynamic leadership of our Hon'ble Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, he is ambitiously setting up the Young India Skills University in Hyderabad, with the objective of providing job opportunities to the students and imparting skill development training according to the requirements of the local industries that are in demand in collaboration with various companies in the PPP model. A total of 17 priority sectors have been identified, and we will be providing training to 2 thousand people in the first year of 2025-26. We will train 20,000 people every year, and the state has allocated Rs. 100 crore on its part for the same and further wants to create a corpus fund of about Rs. 300-500 crores. Now my question to the ministry is if there is any proposal from the central government to adequately fund this Skills University. This will make it a grand success and will lead to the realisation of the goal of a developed nation by 2047. #YoungIndiaSkillUniversity #Telangana #TelanganaRising

Many habitations in Valparai in Coimbatore district and in the rest of the state remain cut off, despite the DMK Government's claims that every habitation in the state has been connected with roads. Here is a heart-wrenching video of an elderly man being carried on foot by villagers for medical help, simply because a road does not exist. In the last 4 years, the Central Government has released ₹2043 Crores to Tamil Nadu under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). Where are the roads? Where did the money go?

States receive 100% of State GST (SGST) collected in that state, approximately 50% of IGST collected in the state, and a portion of CGST is also devolved to the states based on the Finance Commission's recommendations. Industrialised states like Tamil Nadu have several companies with pan-India operations and concurrent tax payments. For example, Tamil Nadu is one of the leading automobile manufacturing states in the country. Manufacturers make a profit because these automobiles are sold across the country. Similarly, plantations from Kerala make profits by selling across India. This explains why the location of direct tax collection may not be a fair and equitable principle for the sharing of tax because although the money comes from everywhere across India, tax is paid in the state where the companies are registered. So, if automobile companies selling across India are registered in Sriperumbudur in Tamil Nadu and they pay their taxes from there, it's not just Tamil Nadu's tax money that is there. - Smt Nirmala Sitharaman in Rajya Sabha.

In 2025, the Packages Group made a profit before tax of Rs 6.3 billion. This was a significant increase from 2024 when their profit before tax stood at Rs 1.44 billion. But their improved performance has not had the desired effect: nearly 96% of their total profit has been taken by the government of Pakistan in taxes. Why? Because large companies in Pakistan are currently subject to a super tax regime. Out of their total profit before taxation of Rs 6.3 billion, Packages has been left with an after tax profit of Rs 26 crores. And they are not the only company facing such a situation.

#WATCH | Delhi: On TVK Chief Vijay meeting with Tamil Nadu Governor, Congress MP Manickam Tagore says, "... We all know that in Tamil Nadu, people have voted for change. People have chosen a new leader, and TVK has emerged. The direction is very clear: 108 members have been elected from that party. With the Congress party’s support of five members, the total becomes 113, while the halfway mark is 118. The governor, a former BJP man, is under pressure from the system. It is well known that the BJP’s mindset, and Delhi’s mindset, is not to make Vijay the Chief Minister. Delhi does not want Vijay to be the Chief Minister. We know the governor is delaying the decision. Although the governor is a good man, he is under pressure. BJP has only one MLA in Tamil Nadu, yet even with one MLA, they are ready to play politics. This is very unfortunate. Stopping a government that has been voted in for change and hope is a crime. I feel that Vijay should be invited to form the government quickly and be allowed to face the floor test in the assembly. That is natural justice. Any obstruction by any party against this change and hope will be punished by the people of Tamil Nadu."

“Bharatha Pradhamar” is acceptable, but “Indhiya Pradhamar” is unacceptable? I don’t understand this logic! Nationalists are raising concerns that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay’s decision to refer to the Central Government as the Indian Government fuels separatist tendencies. As a fellow nationalist, to be honest, I do not see it that way. In fact, I feel the term Indian Government is more compelling, captivating, evocative, and emotionally resonant for patriotic Indians than Central Government or Union Government. The latter terms can sometimes create the impression that the States and the Centre are separate entities, whereas the States are integral parts of India. If “Bharatha Pradhamar” is acceptable, why not “Indhiya Pradhamar”? Perhaps CMOTamilNadu can consider this approach. Instead of saying “The Indian Government,” the Tamil Nadu government could use the phrase “Our Indian Government.” I am sure that would allay some of the concerns and fear expressed about the terminology adopted by the Tamil Nadu government. Agree?

It’s always either the single largest party or the largest coalition. I think the Governor is acting as per his BJP colleagues. BJP stopped Vijay from forming the government in Tamil Nadu. This time, they have got only one MLA, but with these tactics, next time even that account will go to zero. I welcome Stalin’s statement wherein he said we won’t disturb Vijay. That’s a mature statement, but some DMK leaders are calling us names. I kindly request them to refrain from such things.

I wish to draw the attention of the Hon'ble Minister of Health and Family Welfare to the plight of accredited social activists, or ASHA workers, who are the unsung heroes of India's healthcare system. ASHA workers have played an instrumental role in improving maternal and child health, increasing immunization rates, and raising awareness about nutrition and sanitation. Their contributions are especially crucial during the Covid-19 pandemic, where they played a frontline role in the healthcare response. Despite being overburdened with responsibilities and working 12-14 hours a day, they are still classified as volunteers, and they receive meagre honorariums and incentives, which are often delayed, leaving them and their families struggling financially. In Kerala, ASHA workers only earn ₹7000 a month, and the government hasn't paid them for months. They have staged nationwide protests over the years demanding official employee status, payment of arrears, better working conditions, retirement benefits, and access to mental and social security services. Their ongoing protest highlights the systemic undervaluation of community health workers in India and particularly in Kerala. I urge the minister to take immediate action in coordination with state governments to address their concerns. : Shashi Tharoor ji in Lok Sabha

Next year, four states will go to elections — Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal are included in the SIR, but Assam is not. Why? Assam shares a border with Bangladesh and has a large number of suspected infiltrators. The CEC gave the excuse of the NRC but what happened in NRC? Out of 19 lakh people excluded, only 7 lakh were Muslims, and 12 lakh were non-Muslims. After wasting more than 1600 crores of taxpayers’ money, the NRC was quietly dropped. Why is the ECI not revealing the number of infiltrators found in Bihar? And why has it not released the list of 47 lakh deleted voters? How will people even know that their names have been deleted and only then can they raise objections?

Today in Parliament, Sonia Gandhi Ji exposed how the BJP is systematically crippling the world’s largest rural employment scheme, first by slashing budget allocations, then by delaying wage payments, and now by imposing cruel digital hurdles that exclude the most vulnerable. Despite rising demand for work, the government is cutting funds, forcing states to bear the burden and leaving millions of job-seekers helpless. The budget allocation for MGNREGA has remained stagnant at Rs 86,000 crore. From Aadhaar-linked wage payments to app-based attendance, artificial obstacles are being used to push out those who need MNREGA the most like marginalized laborers, Dalits, Adivasis, and women. Why is the Modi government punishing the poor while writing off lakhs of crores in loans for its billionaire friends? MGNREGA was introduced during the UPA government led by Dr Manmohan Singh. This historic law has been a crucial safety net for millions of people living in rural India. Congress will fight for MNREGA, and we will not allow the BJP to destroy it.
