The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M.K. Stalin, said the central government is not listening to his state's important requests.
He mentioned that Tamil Nadu gives a lot of money to the central government but doesn't get enough support in return.
The state has a strong economy and wants fair treatment.
Stalin said the state's representatives will raise these issues in the upcoming Parliament session and demand answers.
He believes the central government should respect Tamil Nadu's contributions and address its concerns.
The DMK also condemned the central government for allegedly not respecting state rights and ignoring Tamil Nadu in railway projects and fund allocation.
They demanded the immediate release of funds for education and other programs, as well as approval for infrastructure projects.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin accused the Union government of neglecting the state's legitimate demands and discriminating in financial allocation.
Stalin highlighted Tamil Nadu's high tax contributions and inadequate fund allocations from the Centre, despite the state recording an 11.19% economic growth.
The DMK MPs resolved to raise issues like GST dues, disaster relief funds, infrastructure approvals, and the Kalaignar University Bill in the upcoming Parliament session.
The DMK condemned the central government for allegedly misusing the Governor's office to harass opposition-ruled state governments and demanded a timeline for bill assent.
