BJP's Record Debt Increase: Edappadi K Palaniswami Questions Economic Progress
BJP's Economic Performance Criticized by Edappadi K Palaniswami
COIMBATORE: AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami has criticized the BJP by stating that the union government has not launched any significant development project in the past decade. Instead, he argues that they have ballooned the country's debt by an astounding Rs 113 lakh crore. Asserting that the debt increased from Rs 55 lakh crore in 2014 to Rs 168 lakh crore now, Palaniswami emphasizes the need for accountability from the ruling party.
Addressing Local Leadership Issues
During a press conference held in Omalur, Salem district, Palaniswami took specific aim at Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai. He chastised him for allegedly failing to fulfill his campaign promises to bring significant central projects to the state. Annamalai's claim to deliver 100 projects within 500 days remains unproven and suspect. Palaniswami urged the BJP leaders to cease their criticisms of the successful AIADMK government.
AIADMK's Achievements in Tamil Nadu
- Palaniswami detailed the remarkable educational advancements made under AIADMK, highlighting Tamil Nadu's leading Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education.
- He also noted substantial progress in the health sector, underscoring the positive impact of the state government's policies.
In response to actor Rajinikanth's comments regarding Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's praise for M Karunanidhi, Palaniswami stated that it was merely a performance orchestrated by the DMK and BJP to distract from the pressing economic issues.
