M.K. Stalin Counters New Tamil Nadu CM Vijay on State Finances

Tamil Nadu's former Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has rejected claims by new CM C. Joseph Vijay that the state inherited an empty treasury, asserting funds are available with efficient administration. Stalin defended his government's fiscal record and urged the new administration to fulfill its promises.

DMK president M.K. Stalin on Sunday responded to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay's assertion that the previous government left the state with a ₹10 lakh crore debt, stating that money is available but requires efficient administration to reach the people. In a social media post, Stalin said the new government should not cite a lack of funds so early in its tenure.
