TN debt within ‘permitted limits’: DMK chief Stalin

DMK president M K Stalin on Sunday said Tamil Nadu’s debt remained well within the ”permissible limits”.

His remarks came hours after Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay alleged that the previous government has burdened the state with a debt of Rs 10 lakh crore and emptied the treasury.

In a post on X, Stalin said, ”The debt level of Tamil Nadu is within the permitted limits.” ”Don’t start saying right away that the government has no money,” he said.

”We had clearly explained the financial position of the Tamil Nadu government in the February budget itself. Didn’t you know that? It was only after that you made so many promises to the people. Don’t deceive the people who voted for you and try to divert the issue,” he added.

Stalin further said, Vijay, having recently assumed administrative responsibilities, would gradually understand the challenges involved in governance and fulfilling electoral promises.
