Reportedly bjp state president annamalai has said that the bjp government is providing 3 times more funds than the tax distribution and subsidy given to tamil Nadu during the previous congress regime. In a press release issued by tamil Nadu bjp President annamalai, "The Finance minister of the day Mr. PDR Palanivel Thiagarajan. In the same way, the current Finance minister, Mr. Thangam Thennarasu, is lying in the Assembly. It is our duty to tell him the truth.
From 2014 to 2022, tamil Nadu's share in direct tax revenue of the central government is Rs 5.16 lakh crore and the share of tax provided by the central government is Rs 2.08 lakh crore, he said. In fact, in the last nine years, the tax allocation given by the central government was 2.46 lakh crore. Along with this, in the last nine years, the central government has given assistance amount of 2.30 lakh crores to tamil Nadu. Out of the 5.16 lakh crore tax revenue that the minister claims to have received from tamil Nadu, the central government has given 4.77 lakh crore to tamil Nadu as direct funds in the last 9 years. It should be clear how the minister calculated the Rs 2.08 lakh crore figure. I am obliged to remind the Finance minister of tamil Nadu, Mr. Thangam Tennarasu, that during the 10-year Congress-DMK alliance regime, the amount of tax distribution and assistance given to tamil Nadu was only 1.5 lakh crores. Hon'ble prime minister of india Mr. narendra modi has given direct funds to tamil Nadu three times more than during the congress DMK regime. Apart from this, for the development of tamil Nadu's infrastructure including highways, railways, ports, medical colleges, without the intervention of the state government, the welfare schemes directly provided by the central government, ration rice at subsidized prices, the value of the schemes and financial allocations provided by the central government to tamil Nadu in the last nine years, Rs. 10.76 lakh crore over Rs. This is twice the direct tax contribution of tamil Nadu. tamil Nadu Finance minister Thangam Thannarasu's giving untruthful information in the assembly is highly reprehensible, when the Central Government's tax distribution and the value of the projects are more than twice the direct tax contribution of tamil Nadu. DMK's tradition of telling lies repeatedly to make people believe the truth is no longer valid.
I hope the finance minister will also realize that people will realize that the sun does not rise because the rooster is crowing on the roof.
