CHENNAI: Leader of the Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami called the State government’s release of new logo for the State budget for 2025-2026 and the release of the State’s Economic Survey for 2024-2025 ahead of the Budget for the fiscal year 2025-2026 as “diversionary tactics” to cover up the government’s administrative failures on many fronts.
Shortly after the State government published the State’s economic Survey report, a first in TN’s history, released akin to the Union government’s exercise, Palaniswami took to social media to express his contrarian views. He stated that the government’s initiative was part of Chief Minister MK Stalin’s publicity stunt and claimed that the “empty advertisement” campaign would not help to address the people’s aspirations and needs.
He further criticised the CM, stating that he had resorted to such political gimmicks, delivering scripted dialogues written by others.
