Opposition Criticizes Tamil Nadu Government Over GST Decline and Lost Investment
Tamil Nadu's economic performance under the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government has drawn criticism from opposition leaders, including DMK chief M.K. Stalin and former BJP state president K Annamalai. They highlighted a significant decline in GST revenue growth, which fell below the national average, and the loss of a Rs 1,614 crore Korean investment to Andhra Pradesh. Both leaders attributed these issues to alleged government negligence and questioned the administration's fiscal priorities and investment promotion efforts. Official data confirms sluggish GST growth amid broader regional economic contrasts.
