TN CM Stalin
CHENNAI: Responding to the specific question raised by Leader of Opposition K Palaniswami on funding for the CMRL phase-II project, Stalin said, “Ever since I assumed the office of the Chief Minister, I have requested funds for the project every time I met the Prime Minister. I wrote to the PM even six days ago. The works are being executed with the state funds and the loans availed by the state as the union government has not allocated funds so far. It is a matter of consolation that the LoP who did not raise the issue till he remained an ally of the BJP has raised it now. I request the LoP to join us and raise the issue to avail funds from the union government.”
Answering the questions raised by the LoP on the Ungal Thoguthiyil Muthalvar scheme, the CM said that as many as 794 works worth Rs 11,132 crore have been sanctioned for 234 constituencies in the current fiscal. GOs have been issued for 582 works and 63 works have been completed. The remaining works are underway and steps are being taken to issue GO for other works."
