DMK Slams TN Govt Over Finance White Paper, Calls it Massive Flop

Accusing the Tamil Nadu government of using a "white paper" on finances to cover up its "administrative failures and unfulfilled electoral promises", senior DMK leader Thangam Thenarasu has termed the document a "total flop" and an exercise in "political escapism". 

Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Marie Wilson had on Tuesday released a white paper on the state's finances, which faulted the previous DMK regime helmed by then Chief Minister M K Stalin.

"The financial position of Tamil Nadu has already been explained clearly and in detail during the presentation of the state



budget," Thangam Thenarasu said in a post on social media. 

The DMK leader alleged that the current dispensation came to power by making "firework-like promises" to the public, but had failed to deliver due to sheer administrative inefficiency. "Having stepped into deep waters without knowing the depth, this government is now completely unable to fulfill its promises. 

To hide the fact that its grand assurances have fallen flat, they generated immense hype around a report released in the name of a 'white paper, which has ultimately turned out to be a massive flop," he alleged.
