Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram has contested Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s assertion of enhanced financial support to Tamil Nadu under the NDA regime, highlighting the organic growth of economic indicators. While PM Modi has emphasized the increased allocation of funds to the state, MK Stalin of the DMK has criticized the central government for allegedly overlooking Tamil Nadu’s fiscal requirements. The contrasting views on the allocation of funds to Tamil Nadu have sparked a debate among political circles, with Chidambaram questioning the basis of the PM’s claims and Stalin accusing the Center of failing to address the state’s financial concerns adequately. As the political discourse intensifies, the issue of financial assistance to Tamil Nadu remains a contentious topic ahead of the upcoming elections.
