Chennai: Deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin launched a sharp attack on the Central Government, accusing it of misleading and neglecting tamil Nadu on multiple fronts. Speaking at a public meeting, he claimed that the state’s interests are being compromised, despite repeated assurances from the Union authorities.
Targeting Edappadi Palaniswami
In his speech, Udhayanidhi directly criticized former chief minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami, calling him a “loyal servant” of the Central Government. He suggested that under Edappadi’s leadership, tamil Nadu’s autonomy and welfare projects were undermined, with key decisions favoring delhi rather than the state.
Key Issues Highlighted
The deputy chief minister raised concerns over several matters, including:
Financial allocations: Alleged delays and inadequacies in Central funding for tamil Nadu.
State projects: Claims that ongoing infrastructure and welfare initiatives are being hindered.
Political interference: Accusations that the central government is influencing state governance to its advantage.
Emphasis on tamil Nadu’s Unity and Rights
Udhayanidhi stressed that Tamil Nadu must safeguard its rights and maintain autonomy in decision-making. He urged citizens and party workers to remain vigilant and proactive in protecting the state’s interests against what he described as unfair treatment by the Center.
Political Implications
Analysts say Udhayanidhi’s remarks are a strategic move to consolidate public support ahead of upcoming elections, positioning himself and his party as defenders of tamil Nadu’s autonomy. The fiery rhetoric is expected to resonate with voters concerned about the state-Center relationship.
