BJP Leader Criticizes Tamil Nadu Over C-390 Assembly Line Location in Nagpur

Selvam argued that Tamil Nadu is missing industrial opportunities compared to states like Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra. The proposed facility depends on government approval and an Indian Air Force order. Selvam linked the situation to political preferences affecting Tamil Nadu's economic prospects.
