  "account": "DMK president and former Chief Minister M.K. Stalin expressed grave concerns over Tamil Nadu's future under the TVK government in a social media post on Monday. He warned that the State's growth rate in Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenue had fallen below the national average, indicating a bleak economic outlook. Stalin alleged that Korean investments worth ₹1,614 crore had been lost and diverted to Andhra Pradesh due to the State government's neglect.\n\nIn his post, Stalin accused the TVK-led government of failing to address pressing issues such as power cuts, farmers' problems, increasing incidents of sexual abuse, narcotic drug abuse, and robberies. He also criticized the administration for creating an environment of law and order deterioration and rising sexual abuse cases. Furthermore, Stalin stated that industrial establishments were hesitant to invest in Tamil Nadu due to the government's inability to tackle these multifaceted challenges.\n\nStalin asserted that the \"Guidance Tamil Nadu\" project, which had previously attracted investments, had now been \"sacrificed\" because of individual egos. He urged people to learn from the mistakes of the TVK government and take action to reverse the current trajectory. Stalin further criticized the Chief Minister for not addressing the crisis, stating that he should be campaigning for the upcoming byelections instead.",
