Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], July 25 (ANI): Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) announced it would hold protests across Tamil Nadu against the Union Government, alleging that the state was neglected in the Union Budget 2024. The protest will take place on July 27.
Stating that the Union Budget discriminated against Tamil Nadu, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP Dayanidhi Maran alleged on Wednesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not working for the people but for the parties that support him to stay in power.
“I think the time has come for the Prime Minister to take some good advice from and follow our Chief Minister, MK Stalin. When MK Stalin became the CM of Tamil Nadu, he said, ‘I will work not only for the people who voted for me but also for the people who did not vote for me; it is my duty.’ Today, the PM is not working for the people who voted for his party but only for the parties that are supporting him,” Maran said in the Lok Sabha.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge alleged discrimination against opposition-ruled states in the Union Budget presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday and said her speech mentioned projects for only two states.
Speaking briefly in the Rajya Sabha, Kharge, who is the Leader of Opposition in the House, alleged that such a budget has never been presented and that it has been done to save the BJP-led government, which is dependent on the support of JD-U and TDP for its survival.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman while presenting a Union Budegt 2024-25 made major announcements for Bihar and Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday, including a boost in infrastructure. (ANI)
