Modi affixes ‘sticker’ on projects rolled out with state funds: Stalin
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Monday lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying he is fixing his ‘sticker’ on Central schemes that are to a greater extent funded by the state governments when implemented in their respective regions.
For the development of a state, financial resources are very important, he said addressing a government function here. “Taking away that financial resource is like stopping the oxygen supply for the state’s growth. They (BJP regime) are only doing that now. The Central government is only the union of states, they are working without realising this.”
Stalin slammed PM Modi for not bothering to visit the people of Chennai and Thoothukudi when the coastal cities recently battled deluge and he was now here just for the sake of seeking votes.
The Chief Minister inaugurated new projects and laid the foundation for new schemes at the event, which was marked by distribution of government welfare measures to beneficiaries in regions under Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri and Salem.
