DMK MLAs Wear Black Shirts Ahead of TN Agriculture Budget

DMK legislators wore black shirts on Thursday ahead of the presentation of the Tamil Nadu Agriculture Budget in the State Assembly. 

On Wednesday, former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin criticised the maiden budget of the TVK-led government, calling it a "waste" and accusing it of lacking original ideas. 

Stalin said the budget, which some had expected to be a "blast", turned out to be a "total waste" and alleged that it was merely a "remake version" of schemes introduced by



the previous DMK government.

In a post on X, he said the "reel government's" first budget failed to deliver on its promises and did not adequately address issues affecting farmers or the rising cost of living. Former Tamil Nadu Finance Minister and DMK MLA Thangam Thennarasu also criticised the budget, saying it failed to meet public expectations.

He alleged that figures in the government's white paper on the state's finances contradicted the budget documents and claimed the government was on a borrowing spree.
