BJP's Vinoj P Selvam Blames Tamil Nadu Govt for Missing C-390 Factory Deal

Vinoj P Selvam, a senior BJP leader, made the remarks in a press conference, accusing the Tamil Nadu government of losing a major opportunity to secure a contract for a C‑390 aircraft factory. The C‑390 is a large transport aircraft developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, and the contract would have brought significant investment and jobs to the state. Selvam said the loss was due to administrative delays and a lack of proactive engagement by state authorities. He urged the government to adopt a more proactive approach in future defence and aviation projects. The Tamil Nadu government has not yet responded to Selvam's allegations, highlighting growing tensions between the central BJP leadership and state governments over defence procurement and industrial development.
