Tamil Nadu BJP president Nainar Nagenthran criticized Chief Minister M.K. Stalin's announcement of the Assured Pension Scheme, alleging it was a hurried attempt to deceive the public and workers, especially given the DMK's election promise to restore the Old Pension Scheme. Nagenthran questioned the scheme's deliverability and timing, with the government's term nearing its end. He also suggested that Union Home Minister Amit Shah's upcoming visit might bring changes to Tamil Nadu.
