Chief Minister MK Stalin slammed the Tamil Nadu budget presented by Finance Minister Vijay, labeling it as 'hollow' and urging a more substantive plan.
In a statement released earlier this week, Chief Minister MK Stalin criticized the Tamil Nadu budget presented by Finance Minister Vijay, describing it as "hollow" and lacking depth on key issues.
Stalin emphasized that the budget failed to address the pressing needs of the state's citizens, particularly in areas such as infrastructure, health, and education.
The criticism comes amid growing scrutiny of the state's fiscal plans, with opposition parties and civil society groups calling for greater transparency and accountability.
The government has indicated that it will review the budget proposals to ensure they align with the state's development objectives.
