Tamil Nadu Budget: M.K. Stalin terms TVK-led government’s Revised Budget a damp squib

DMK president M.K. Stalin has dismissed the Tamil Nadu government's revised budget as a "damp squib," criticizing its lack of originality and failure to meet the state's needs. In a social media post, Stalin stated that the budget, presented by the TVK-led government, was merely a "remake of the 'Dravidian Model' government's Budget" and did not fulfill the promises made during the election.

Specifically, he highlighted the absence of schemes for the state, support for farmers, solutions to electricity billing issues, and rising living costs. Stalin also criticized the budget for not addressing key electoral promises, such as the ₹2,500 for women, ₹4,000 for unemployed youth, six free LPG cylinders, and the waiver of crop loans.
