Annamalai: Tasmac outlets will be closed in three years

Bharatiya Janata Party State President K. Annamalai said that if the BJP is voted to power in the state, Tasmac outlets would be closed in three years.

Mr. Annamalai led the En Mann En Makkal yatra covering Salem South, Salem North, and Salem West Assembly constituencies.

Earlier speaking to reporters, Mr. Annamalai said that the DMK government borrowed ₹2.69 lakh crore in 31 months, and if the present situation continues, the total debt of Tamil Nadu will reach ₹10 lakh crore.

From day one, DMK says the financial position is not good and is continuing the same after 31 months. The DMK government cannot improve its financial position. “As I said earlier, after the drama, the DMK government announced ₹1,000 along with a Pongal gift hamper. When the DMK was in the opposition, they urged to give ₹5,000 for the Pongal festival, but now, pointing out financial position, they are giving ₹1,000,” he said.

Without giving bribes, no company would start their business in Tamil Nadu. Compared to past years, the foreign direct investment (FDI) coming into Tamil Nadu has reduced this year.

Speaking at the public meeting in Dadagapatti in the evening, Mr. Annamalai said that recently, Uttar Pradesh surpassed Tamil Nadu and became the second-largest economy in the country. In the next two years, Karnataka is expected to surpass Tamil Nadu. While heavy rain lashed southern districts, DMK Ministers were busy with work for the Salem DMK youth wing conference.

Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin inspected the flood-affected areas with a cinema director, and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin participated in the INDIA bloc meeting. Last year in the annual exams, 55,000 SSLC students failed in Tamil, an achievement of the DMK government. But the Prime Minister is taking the Tamil language across the globe.
